EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork by Hugh W. Cowin depicts a Junkers R I German bomber plane in flight during the First World War. The design of this long-range, five-man heavy bomber monoplane began in January 1917, with the finalization coming in March of the same year. Despite the early progress, only two machines were ordered, and construction on R 57/17 did not come to completion for various reasons. The Junkers R I was a significant development in aviation technology during the war, featuring a sleek monoplane design with cross-shaped struts for added stability. Its long range capabilities made it an ideal choice for strategic bombing missions, and its five-man crew ensured that it could effectively carry out these missions with a full complement of personnel. The intricate details in Cowin's artwork bring the Junkers R I to life, capturing the essence of this historic aircraft and the era in which it flew. The plane's cross-shaped struts create an interesting visual contrast against the smooth lines of the monoplane body, while the engine and propeller add a sense of power and movement. The First World War saw rapid advancements in aviation technology, and the Junkers R I was no exception. Its innovative design and capabilities showcase the ingenuity and determination of the engineers and pilots of the time. Cowin's artwork serves as a testament to the rich history of aviation during the war, and a reminder of the significant role that planes played in shaping the course of history.
