This photograph depicts a Morane-Soulnier Ms-30E1 Parasol biplane in flight during World War I. The Morane-Soulnier Ms-30E1, also known as the "Parasol," was a French single-seat fighter aircraft that saw active service with the French Aviation Militaire from 1915 to 1917. The aircraft in this image is shown in its distinctive open-cockpit configuration, with the pilot poised for battle. The biplane's wings, each with two bays, are braced with struts and wires, giving it a robust and sturdy appearance. The Parasol's wingspan measured 10.3 meters (33.8 feet), and it had a length of 6.8 meters (22.3 feet). Powered by a Le Rhone rotary engine, the Parasol could reach a top speed of 120 kilometers per hour (75 miles per hour). The Morane-Soulnier Ms-30E1 was armed with a single fixed forward-firing Vickers machine gun, which was synchronized to fire through the propeller. The pilot could also carry two additional Lewis guns, mounted on the wings, for defensive fire. The Parasol was a popular choice among French pilots due to its maneuverability and agility, making it an effective weapon against enemy aircraft. This photograph captures the essence of the excitement and danger of early aviation during the First World War. The Parasol's sleek lines, powerful engine, and the determination of its pilot make for a compelling image that continues to fascinate aviation enthusiasts and historians alike.
