EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of innovation and determination during the early days of aviation at Langley Field, Virginia, in 1917. The image features Lt. E. Lemaitre and an unidentified officer, believed to be either Captain J.C. Bartolf or Captain W.T. Boatwright, standing next to a French Nieuport Type 17 biplane. The Nieuport was a pioneering design used extensively during World War I, and its sleek lines and distinctive shape are on full display in this photograph. The men, dressed in their flying gear and holding aviator goggles, exude a sense of readiness and focus as they prepare for their next mission. The backdrop of Langley Field, with its grassy runways and simple hangars, underscores the fledgling nature of military aviation at the time. This photograph is a testament to the courage and ingenuity of the early aviators who pushed the boundaries of flight and paved the way for the modern air force." "The photograph was taken by the renowned Harris & Ewing studio, founded by George H. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze in Washington D.C. in 1896. The studio was a leading supplier of photographs to the U.S. Congress and was known for its high-quality glass negatives. This particular image is part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, a valuable resource for historians and researchers studying the history of aviation and the early days of the U.S. military.
