EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Rolls-Royce Eagle VIII, a remarkable V-12 engine that played a crucial role during World War I. Developed in response to a British Admiralty requirement for a powerful aircraft engine, the Eagle was an engineering marvel of its time. The journey of this groundbreaking engine began in 1915 when the first experimental model was successfully tested, producing an impressive 168 kW (225 hp). This initial success paved the way for further development and refinement, resulting in the production of over 4,681 Eagles at the renowned Rolls-Royce Derby facility. Between 1917 and 1922 alone, approximately 3,302 units of the Eagle VIII were manufactured. Its immense power propelled numerous iconic British aircraft into action during World War I. From Airco D. H. 4/4A and D. H. 9A series to Handley Page H. P. 12 O/400 and Royal Aircraft Factory F. E. 2d models - these magnificent machines owed their performance to this exceptional engine. The Rolls-Royce Eagle VIII became synonymous with reliability and excellence on the battlefield as it powered various military aircraft with unparalleled efficiency and strength. As we admire this historic print today, let us remember not only its technical brilliance but also pay tribute to all those who served valiantly during World War I - both on land and in skies - ensuring our freedom through their unwavering dedication and sacrifice.
