EDITORS COMMENTS
Le Drapeau de L'Aviation," or "The Flag of Aviation," is depicted in this photograph as it is being carried by Georges Marie Guyemer, a French aviator and fighter pilot, following his award ceremony at Longvic, near Dijon, on May 13, 1916. At the time, Guyemer held the rank of sous-lieutenant in the French armed forces. This image was published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, a Parisian publication, in 1924. The flag, which is being held aloft by Guyemer, bears the insignia of the French air force, symbolizing his achievement as an aviator during the First World War. The image captures the essence of the wartime spirit, with Guyemer's determined expression and the backdrop of an airfield, where planes were transported and prepared for flight. The photograph provides a glimpse into the history of aviation during the early 20th century and the role of the French air force in the First World War. The flag, which is now a cherished symbol of French aviation, was carried by Guyemer after he received it from the first armored group. The photograph is a testament to the bravery and dedication of the French aviators during the First World War and serves as a reminder of the significant role that aviation played in the war effort. This photograph, with its historical significance and visual appeal, is a valuable addition to any collection of images documenting the First World War and the history of aviation. The image is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women who served in the armed forces during this period and the advances in technology and warfare that shaped the 20th century.
