EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Field-balloon division in action" captures the treacherous terrain that posed a great challenge to the German airforce during World War I. Taken by an anonymous German photographer from the 20th century, this image showcases the immense difficulty faced by aviators as they transport their equipment across rugged landscapes. The scene depicts a team of determined soldiers pushing an apparatus used for carrying hot air balloons. The original eight divisions, each with one balloon, were expanded to 53 divisions with approximately 190 balloons due to the demands of war. This expansion highlights both the importance and effectiveness of aerial observation during this period. The sepia-toned print evokes a sense of nostalgia and serves as a poignant reminder of the bravery exhibited by these aviators amidst such challenging circumstances. As they march forward, risking their lives for their country's cause, we are reminded of the sacrifices made during World War I. This photograph is part of The Stapleton Collection and belongs to a private collection. It offers us a glimpse into history, allowing us to reflect on the significant role played by field-balloon divisions in shaping military strategies during this tumultuous time.
