EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of departure for a Sopwith seaplane on the Balkan Front during the First World War. The Sopwith Camel, a biplane renowned for its agility and versatility, was widely used by the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) and the British Army for reconnaissance, bombing, and dogfighting missions. In this image, the pilot, dressed in his flying gear, prepares for takeoff from the water's edge. Surrounding the seaplane are men wading in the sea, likely providing support and assistance during the launch. The serene yet tense atmosphere of the scene underscores the daring nature of aviation during wartime. The Sopwith seaplane, with its distinctive shape and powerful presence, stands out against the backdrop of the calm sea and sky. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of the pilots and ground crew on the Balkan Front, as they braved the challenges of flying in a time of great conflict.
