EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the aftermath of the daring attack on the new Zeppelin shed at Dusseldorf, Germany, during the early days of World War I. Taken by an officer of the Royal Flying Corps on 8th October 1914, the image shows the moment a bomb, carried by a British biplane, explodes inside the shed, igniting a massive fire that reaches over 500 feet into the sky. The shed, which housed the German Zeppelin airships, was a significant military target for the Allies as these airships were used for reconnaissance and bombing raids against Allied cities. The attack marked a turning point in the war, demonstrating the potential of air power as a strategic weapon. The giant flame, leaping up from the shed, illuminates the night sky, while the dark silhouette of the biplane can be seen in the foreground, adding to the dramatic effect of the scene. This historical photograph, taken by renowned photographer G.H. Davis, provides a glimpse into the intense and pivotal moments of the First World War.
