EDITORS COMMENTS
**"Victory in the Skies: Capt. W.C. Schauffler Jr. and Lt. F.A. Tillman Soar to Glory"**
On November 18, 1918, just days after World War I came to a close, Captain William Cullen Schauffler Jr., standing proudly beside his trusty Salmson 2A2 airplane "Pair-a-Dice," shared the spotlight with Lieutenant Fred A. Tillman in Bethelainville, Meuse, France. This iconic photograph captures the moment when these two brave aviators of the Ninetieth Aero Squadron took to the skies once more, their double Lewis machine gun at the ready.
As part of Bain News Service's esteemed collection, this black and white print offers a glimpse into the lives of those who served on both sides of the Atlantic during one of humanity's most tumultuous periods. With Schauffler Jr.'s commanding presence and Tillman's steady gaze, we are reminded not only of their individual bravery but also of the unwavering spirit that defined America's armed forces in World War I.
This powerful image is a testament to the enduring legacy of those who served during this pivotal moment in history. It stands as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made and the triumphs achieved by men like Captain Schauffler Jr. and Lieutenant Tillman, whose stories continue to inspire generations today.
