EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of stillness before takeoff, as an Australian Flying Corps (AFC) Handley Page biplane sits proudly on the tarmac of Haifa aerodrome in North Palestine during the First World War. The year is circa 1918, and the Ottoman Empire still holds sway over this region. The Handley Page biplane, with its distinctive wings and robust design, was a vital asset to the Allied forces during this period. The AFC, an integral part of the Royal Flying Corps, played a significant role in the Middle Eastern theatre of the Great War, contributing to the transportation of troops and supplies, as well as carrying out reconnaissance and bombing missions. The rugged terrain of the Middle East presented unique challenges for aviators of the time, and the ability to fly these machines in such conditions was a testament to the skill and determination of the pilots. With the roar of the engine moments away, the scene is one of anticipation and excitement, as the Australian pilot prepares to embark on another mission in support of the Allied war effort.
