EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of the First World War in the skies above northern France. Taken in June 1918, it depicts a formation of British Bristol fighter planes from No. 22 Squadron RAF in flight over a field. The Bristol F.2 Fighter, also known as the "Brisfit," was a two-seat biplane used primarily as a day fighter and reconnaissance aircraft during the war. The image exudes a sense of determination and camaraderie as the pilots expertly maneuver their planes in unison. The verdant fields and clear blue sky provide a stark contrast to the grim realities of the battlefield below. The planes, with their distinctive angular wings and robust design, appear poised and ready for action. No. 22 Squadron RAF was a renowned unit that saw extensive service during the war, and this photograph serves as a testament to their skill and bravery. The squadron was based at Serny aerodrome, which was strategically located near the front lines, allowing them to respond quickly to enemy threats. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the air war during the Great War and the crucial role that the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Naval Air Service played in securing victory for the Allies. The image has been preserved in the archives of Mary Evans Prints Online, offering us a glimpse into history and the valor of those who took to the skies during a time of conflict.
