EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the iconic Vickers F. B. 5 Gunbus, a groundbreaking aircraft that played a crucial role in World War I. As the first operational British plane specifically designed for air-to-air combat, it is widely regarded as one of the earliest true fighter aircraft in history. The image captures the essence of this historic biplane, with its sleek design and powerful presence. The photographer skillfully focuses on the intricate details of the interior, highlighting the gun mounted on its frame. This emphasizes its purpose-built nature for aerial warfare. Dating back to approximately 1917 during World War I, this photograph provides a glimpse into an era when aviation was still in its infancy. It serves as a reminder of England's significant contribution to military technology and innovation during this tumultuous period. Once part of the Royal Flying Corps fleet, this Vickers F.
