EDITORS COMMENTS
This topographical aeronautical print depicts the "Course de Perfectionnement de Chateauroux - La Piste," a training ground for pilots during World War I located in Chateauroux, France. The reverse side of the print reveals a poignant historical scene from the same year, 1916. The image shows Moroccan soldiers, known as Annam and Kabyles, working in the Camp de Chateauroux. Maurice Busset, a French photographer, captured this moment in history. Born in 1879, Busset was an accomplished photographer who documented various aspects of life during the early 20th century. His work includes numerous images from the First World War, providing valuable insights into the war effort and the experiences of soldiers from diverse backgrounds. The Moroccan soldiers in this print were part of the French colonial forces that fought alongside the French army during the war. The image shows them working diligently, likely engaged in maintenance or repair tasks essential for the smooth operation of the military camp. The presence of these soldiers highlights the international scope of the war and the multicultural nature of the French military. The "Course de Perfectionnement de Chateauroux - La Piste" was a crucial training facility for pilots during the war. The print shows the layout of the airfield, including the hangars, runways, and various support structures. Pilots underwent rigorous training here, learning essential skills such as takeoff and landing techniques, navigation, and combat maneuvers. The facility played a vital role in preparing pilots for the challenges they would face on the battlefield. This historical print offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing both the military training and the multicultural aspects of the First World War. The image serves as a testament to the efforts and sacrifices made by soldiers from various backgrounds during this pivotal period in history.
