EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intense focus and determination of American fighter pilot, Eddie Rickenbacker, as he prepares for a mission during World War I. Known as 'Fast Eddie' and 'The Ace of Aces of America,' Rickenbacker earned his nickname by shooting down 26 enemy planes and becoming the top-scoring American pilot of the war. In this image, taken circa 1918 in northern France, Rickenbacker is seen seated in the cockpit of his Spad XIII fighter plane. The Spad XIII, a French-designed single-seat biplane, was a favorite among Allied pilots for its maneuverability and firepower. With a serious expression and unwavering gaze, Rickenbacker appears ready for the challenges that lie ahead. The backdrop of the French countryside underscores the international nature of the conflict and the sacrifices made by soldiers from around the world. This powerful photograph is a testament to the bravery and skill of Eddie Rickenbacker and the other brave men and women who served in the skies during the Great War.
