Combat Aerien; Deux 'poilus' de l'air; Raoul Lufbery, pilote dans l'aviation francaise, 1918
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph that depicts two airmen, identified as Raoul Lufbery, a renowned American fighter ace who flew for the French aviation forces during World War I. The image was published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924. The photograph captures the essence of the wartime aviation scene, with the two airmen, dressed in their flying gear, standing next to their aircraft at an airfield. Raoul Lufbery, the central figure, gazes directly at the camera with a determined look in his eyes, exuding confidence and bravery. His companion, also a 'poilu' or 'hairy one' - a term used to refer to French soldiers during World War I, stands beside him, looking off into the distance. The photograph is a testament to the camaraderie and teamwork that existed between the Allied forces during the war. The image also highlights the critical role that aviation played in the conflict, with the men and their aircraft being the key to controlling the skies and gaining a strategic advantage. The photograph's composition, with the two figures framed against the backdrop of their aircraft and the open sky, creates a powerful visual narrative that transports us back to the early days of military aviation and the pivotal role it played during World War I. The image is a valuable historical document that offers a unique insight into the lives of the brave men who flew during the war and the critical role they played in shaping the course of history.
