EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the focus and determination of the aircrew of No. 22 Squadron Royal Flying Corps (RFC) as they prepare for a mission aboard their Bristol F2B fighter aircraft in April 1918. The image, which is part of the extensive Mary Evans Prints Online archive, offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of the brave aviators who served during the First World War. The squadron, based at Solesmes Airfield in France, was one of the most successful units of the RFC, with a formidable reputation for its effectiveness in combat. The men in this photograph, dressed in their flying gear and seated in front of their gleaming F2B fighter, exude a sense of readiness and professionalism. The aircraft, a two-seater biplane, was a formidable weapon of the time, capable of reaching speeds of over 100 miles per hour and armed with two synchronized Vickers machine guns. The aeronautical advancements of the early 20th century revolutionized warfare, and the aircrew of No. 22 Squadron were at the forefront of this new era. Their portraits, captured against the backdrop of their aircraft, serve as a poignant reminder of the courage and sacrifice of those who took to the skies to defend their countries during the Great War. This photograph is not only a testament to the history of aviation but also a powerful reminder of the human spirit and the indomitable will to fly.
