EDITORS COMMENTS
St. Elmo's Fire: A Natural Phenomenon Manifesting on a German Heinkel Bomber During World War II (1941) St. Elmo's Fire, also known as the Virgin's Tear or the Fire of the Virgin, is a rare and intriguing natural phenomenon that has fascinated humans for centuries. This electrifying occurrence is characterized by the manifestation of luminous discharges around the tips of conductors, such as the masts of ships or the wings and fuselage of aircraft. In this photograph, we witness St. Elmo's Fire in its full glory, as it appears on the fuselage and engine nacelles of a German Heinkel bomber during World War II. The date of this extraordinary image is 1941. The cause of St. Elmo's Fire is still not fully understood by scientists, but it is believed to be the result of corona discharge, which occurs when there is a strong electric field between an object and the surrounding atmosphere. The discharge creates a luminous sheath that can be seen as a blue or violet glow. The appearance of St. Elmo's Fire on military aircraft during flight was a matter of great interest to both pilots and ground crews, as it was believed to be a sign of a favorable atmospheric condition for flight. Some pilots even believed that it offered a degree of protection against lightning strikes. Despite the many theories and beliefs surrounding St. Elmo's Fire, one thing is certain: it continues to be a fascinating and enigmatic natural phenomenon that captures the imagination of people around the world.
