EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative photograph captures the essence of the British SE5A biplane, a iconic aircraft that played a pivotal role in the skies during the First World War. The image, taken on an airfield between 1914 and 1918, shows the biplane in all its glory, its distinctive green and brown camouflage paintwork gleaming in the sunlight. The plane's powerful propeller is a blur as it spins, ready to take off and join the battle in the skies above. The crew, dressed in their flying gear and wearing protective goggles, are seen standing nearby, preparing for the next mission. The pilot, with a determined look on his face, adjusts the controls of the plane, while the ground crew attend to the wheels and propeller blocks. The airfield, with its rows of aircraft and support structures, is a hive of activity, a testament to the relentless pace of the war effort. The SE5A biplane was one of the main aeroplanes in use by the Royal Flying Corps during the First World War, renowned for its maneuverability and firepower. With its open-cockpit design and biplane configuration, it offered pilots an unobstructed view of the battlefield below, making it an invaluable asset in the skies. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the bravery and determination of the pilots and ground crew who served in the Royal Flying Corps during the First World War. It captures a moment in time, a snapshot of history, that continues to inspire and fascinate us today." (c)Robert Hunt Library/Mary Evans from Mary Evans Prints Online.
