EDITORS COMMENTS
Squadron-Leader Richard Davies and Flight-Lieutenant Richard Peirse, two fearless heroes of the Royal Naval Air Service, engage in a daring bombing mission over Zeebrugge on 23 January 1915. This lithograph by W. Avis captures the heart-stopping moment when these brave aviators dropped bombs on the enemy submarine station amidst heavy fire. In this powerful image, we witness their unwavering courage as they navigate through treacherous skies, defying both gravity and danger. The intensity of the battle is palpable as explosions light up the sky around them. Their aircraft becomes a symbol of hope and resilience against an unforgiving backdrop of war. This depiction serves as a testament to the heroism displayed by countless individuals during World War I. It immortalizes not only Squadron-Leader Richard Davies and Flight-Lieutenant Richard Peirse but also pays tribute to all those who fought valiantly for their country's cause.
