EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, AFL03_aerofilms_c169, showcases a formation of Biplanes in flight, a nostalgic reminder of aviation history. The De Havilland DH9s depicted in this image were designed by Airco in 1916 and made their debut with the Royal Flying Corps over the Western Front in 1917 during World War I. Despite being phased out of service with the RAF in 1920, these versatile aircraft found new life in the hands of Commonwealth Air Forces and were adapted for use by various military units. The DH9 biplanes in this image exude a sense of power and grace as they soar through the sky, their wings outstretched and propellers churning the air. The photograph, taken from an aerial perspective, offers a unique vantage point that highlights the intricate details of these historic aircraft. The image is a copy negative made in 1923, a testament to the enduring legacy of these early aviation pioneers. The De Havilland DH9 biplanes were designed for military use, but their utility extended beyond the battlefield. They were also adapted for use in civilian air transport companies, demonstrating their versatility and adaptability. This photograph captures a moment in time when aviation was still a new and exciting frontier, and the De Havilland DH9 biplanes were at the forefront of technological innovation.
