EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Morane-Saulnier BB two-seat biplane, a vital component of the French military aviation during the First World War. Circa 1915-1916, this aircraft served dual roles as a reconnaissance and escort fighter. The open-cockpit biplane boasts two seats, with the observer positioned at the rear, manning and operating the two synchronized Lewis guns. The Morane-Saulnier BB was a significant development in the realm of military aviation during the Great War. Its distinctive biplane configuration, with two wings of equal span, offered enhanced maneuverability and stability in the skies. The aircraft's robust construction and powerful engine enabled it to carry out various missions, from gathering intelligence behind enemy lines to providing protective cover for other aircraft. The Lewis guns, mounted on the rear cockpit, were a critical feature of the Morane-Saulnier BB. These flexible, air-cooled machine guns could be adjusted to various angles, allowing the observer to engage enemy targets effectively. The observer's role was crucial, as they not only provided defensive cover but also relayed vital information back to their comrades on the ground. This photograph offers a glimpse into the wartime aviation history, showcasing the Morane-Saulnier BB's unique design and the bravery of the pilots and observers who flew these aircraft during the First World War. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the pivotal role aviation played in the conflict, forever changing the face of warfare.
