EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Broken Wings: The Unforgiving Fate of a Damaged Dornier Do-17 of the Luftwaffe at Prague Ruzyne Airport, 1940" 2. Description: This evocative photograph captures the poignant moment of a damaged Dornier Do-17 bomber of the German Luftwaffe, lying helplessly on the tarmac of Prague Ruzyne Airport in 1940. The image bears the unmistakable marks of a crash-landing, with the aircraft's undercarriage crushed and twisted beyond recognition. The once sleek and powerful piston-prop bomber now appears fragile and vulnerable, a stark reminder of the unforgiving nature of war. 3. Background: The Dornier Do-17, also known as the "Flying Pencil" or "Fliegender Bleistift," was a versatile and formidable aircraft used extensively by the German Luftwaffe during World War II. This particular Do-17, likely part of a bombing mission, suffered an undercarriage failure upon landing at Prague Ruzyne Airport in the Czech Republic. The image, taken in 1940, offers a rare glimpse into the harsh realities of military aviation during wartime. 4. Historical Significance: The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the risks and challenges faced by the brave men and women who served in the military aviation forces during World War II. The damaged Do-17 is a testament to the unforgiving nature of war and the resilience of those who fought in it. The image also highlights the historical significance of Prague Ruzyne Airport, which played a crucial role in the military and civilian aviation landscape of Europe during the war. 5. Technical Details: This high-quality print, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, measures 11 x 8 inches and is available in various formats, including digital and physical. The image is a valuable addition to any collection of military aviation history, historical photography, or World War II memorabilia.
