The window comprises of 3 lights:- The centre light portrays St Michael the Archangel, fully armed, as patron of the Church Militant, piercing the Dragon of Evil, standing sentinel over the Cathedral of Lincoln. The Right Side Light shows various types of aeroplanes ascending, such as were flown by pilots at that time. These include the Sopwith Camel, Blackburn Bombers and Avros. There is also a distant view of an early submarine on the surface of the sea. The left hand light contains views of aeroplanes descending to their Hangers in the left foreground. At the top of the Lights can be seen four smaller lights. These feature the badges of the Royal Flying Corps, The Royal Naval Air Service, The Royal Air Force together with The Royal Flying Cross. The window was designed by Messrs Burlison & Grylls of 36, Great Ormond Street, London, WC1, from suggestions made by the Rev Alfred Hunt MA, Vicar of Welton, and was first unveiled and dedicated by the Lord Bishop of Lincoln on 10th May 1921. This unique Memorial Window created considerable interest nationally and among the first to visit was Sir William Tritton the inventor of the Modern Tank.
