EDITORS COMMENTS
(Combat Aviation; Among the Allied Air Forces; Montage of Airplanes Repaired in an Army Workshop, 1917-18) is a captivating photograph from the first world war era, showcasing the meticulous repair work of the Royal Flying Corps (RFC). The image, published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924, offers a unique glimpse into the wartime aviation scene. The photograph captures a busy scene of biplanes, or perhaps a mix of monoplanes and biplanes, being repaired in an army workshop. The atmosphere is bustling with activity, as background figures work diligently to restore the damaged aircraft to their former glory. The principle guiding this operation was that anything that could be repaired, should be repaired on the spot. The RFC, an essential component of the British armed forces during the first world war, was renowned for its remarkable organization. This photograph is a testament to the dedication and skill of the service's repair teams, who played a crucial role in ensuring the continued operation of the Allied air forces. The photograph's title, "Combat Aérien," emphasizes the connection between the repair work and the larger context of aerial warfare. The biplanes, which were the primary type of aircraft used during the first world war, are a striking reminder of the technological innovations and advancements that characterized this period in history. This evocative image not only showcases the intricacies of wartime aviation but also highlights the human element of the conflict, as individuals worked tirelessly to keep the aircraft in the sky and support their fellow soldiers from above.
