EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Photos by the R.F.C. 1917," is a breathtaking glimpse into the history of aviation during the First World War. Taken in 1917, this image is one of two photographs from an album of 230 images, all captured by Colonel W. Leith-Ross, an Army Staff member, in Mesopotamia between 1916 and 1917. The album, associated with the First World War, offers a unique perspective on the military's use of aircraft during this pivotal period in history. In this photograph, we see multiple aircraft in the air, their silhouettes stark against the bright sky. The image captures the raw power and innovation of early aviation technology, as these planes soar through the clouds, ready to carry out their missions. The photograph's title, "Photos by the R.F.C.," refers to the Royal Flying Corps, the air arm of the British Army during the First World War. The R.F.C. played a crucial role in the war effort, providing reconnaissance, support, and attack capabilities from the skies. This photograph is a testament to the bravery and ingenuity of the men and women who served in the R.F.C. during the First World War. It offers a fascinating glimpse into a time when aviation was still a new and exciting technology, and when the skies above the battlefields were a contested domain. Today, this photograph serves as a reminder of the important role that aviation has played in shaping the course of history and the lives of millions around the world.
