EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a pivotal moment in history - the bombing of the Turks at the Dardanelles during World War I. Taken from John Hamilton's renowned book "Flying Memories" this lithograph by Stanley Orton Bradshaw transports us back to 1934, offering a glimpse into the bravery and chaos of war. In this intense scene, Commander C. R. Samson is depicted fearlessly attacking the Turkish camp at Sheikh Said opposite Perim. The image showcases an aircraft soaring through the sky, dropping bombs on fleeing soldiers below. The tension is palpable as tents are torn apart and smoke billows into the air. The artist's sketch-like style adds a sense of urgency to the illustration, capturing both movement and emotion in every stroke. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought for their countries during this tumultuous time. As we gaze upon this print from Flying Memories, we are transported to an era where aviation was still in its infancy but played a vital role in warfare. It reminds us of how far we have come technologically while also honoring those who risked their lives for freedom. This powerful image serves as both a historical document and a work of art that evokes deep emotions within us all. It stands as a testament to human resilience amidst conflict and offers us an opportunity to reflect on our shared past while looking towards a more peaceful future.
