EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a DFW C V German two-seater biplane, serial numbered and identified as belonging to Fl Abt (A) 224, resting on the grassy expanse of a cross-hatched airfield at Chateau Bellingcamps on May 22, 1917, during the First World War. The DFW C V, a two-seat open-cockpit biplane, was operational from early 1916 and was widely used by the German military throughout the conflict. Its distinctive design, featuring a pair of parallel wings and a robust, streamlined fuselage, made it a formidable presence in the skies of the Western Front. The image offers a glimpse into the wartime aviation landscape, with the biplane's wings casting long shadows on the ground as the sun begins to set. The machine's cross-shaped markings, denoting its affiliation with Fliegerabteilung (Flying Detachment) 224, are clearly visible on the fuselage. The photograph provides a poignant reminder of the crucial role that aircraft played in the military strategy of the time, as they were used for reconnaissance, bombing raids, and dogfighting. The DFW C V biplane, with its powerful engine and maneuverability, was a symbol of the technological advancements and innovation that characterized the aviation industry during the First World War. This photograph is an essential piece of history, offering a glimpse into the past and the sacrifices made during the conflict.
