EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Short Admiralty Type 310 torpedo bomber seaplane, serial number N1303, in its element during the early years of the First World War. Built by the Short Brothers in Rochester, Kent, England, the Type 310 was a two-seater torpedo bomber specifically designed for the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS). First flown in July 1916, this aircraft was the 14th of its kind to be produced. The Type 310 was a significant development in aviation technology during the war, with its distinctive biplane configuration, pusher propeller, and floats that enabled it to take off and land on water. Its primary role was to attack enemy ships with torpedoes, making it a crucial asset in the maritime warfare efforts. The image captures the essence of the era, with the aircraft's rugged appearance and the ominous backdrop of the water and sky. The crew, dressed in their protective flying gear, are poised and ready for their mission. This photograph is a testament to the bravery and innovation of the aviators who flew these planes during the war, as they faced the challenges of flying over water and engaging in combat against enemy targets. The Short Admiralty Type 310 torpedo bomber seaplane played a vital role in the RNAS's arsenal during the First World War, and this photograph offers a unique glimpse into the history of aviation and military technology during this time. Circa 1916-1917.
