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.
