EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Combat Aerien; Guynemer, sergent, photographie avec le capitaine Brocard... 1916," showcases a moment of camaraderie and celebration amidst the harsh realities of war. The image features Georges Marie Guynemer, a decorated French fighter ace, standing proudly next to Captain Felix Brocard. The photograph was taken on February 5, 1916, following Guynemer's fifth aerial victory during the First World War. Guynemer, with a determined and resolute expression, wears his military uniform and aviator goggles, while Brocard, in his captain's uniform, looks on with admiration. The backdrop of the image is an airfield, with aircraft in various stages of readiness, emphasizing the central role of aviation in the conflict. At this time, Guynemer was a sergeant in the French Air Force, and his heroic actions in the skies above the battlefields of Europe had already earned him a reputation as a brave and courageous fighter pilot. The image captures a brief moment of respite from the intense and dangerous world of combat, highlighting the human connection and camaraderie that existed even in the midst of war. The photograph is from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" and was published in L'Illustration, a Parisian weekly magazine, in 1924. The print, a testament to the valor and heroism of the men and women who served during the First World War, remains a powerful reminder of the human stories that lie behind the history books.
