Quelques 'AS'; Sous-lieutenant de la Tour,
EDITORS COMMENTS
translated to "A Few 'AS'; Second Lieutenant de la Tour," is a captivating photograph from the first world war era, featuring Mathieu Marie Joseph Antoine de la Tour, a brave French aviator serving in the Aviation Militaire (French Air Force). The image, published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924, captures the raw intensity and courage of the young lieutenant. The photograph shows de la Tour, clad in his military uniform, standing confidently beside his biplane, an Airco DH.2, with the distinctive 'AS' insignia of the Aviation Militaire emblazoned on the side. The serene expression on his face contrasts with the chaotic backdrop of the wartime setting, emphasizing the calm determination of the fighter pilot in the midst of the turmoil. Mathieu de la Tour, born on March 1, 1895, in Saint-Maurice, France, joined the French military aviation corps in 1914. He quickly proved his mettle as a skilled pilot, earning several decorations for his valor and contributions to the war effort. The photograph, taken in 1916, immortalizes a pivotal moment in his military career. As a testament to the rich history of the French armed forces and the indomitable spirit of the men who served during the first world war, this photograph remains a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made during this tumultuous period in history. The image, though anonymous, continues to inspire awe and admiration for the courage and determination of the young lieutenant and the countless others who fought valiantly for their countries during the Great War.
