EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment when Georges-Marie Guynemer, one of France's most celebrated fighter aces of World War I, carries the flag of the first air group at Longvic, near Dijon, on May 13, 1916. Guynemer, who was born in 1894, had already amassed an impressive record of victories in the skies over enemy lines, earning him the admiration of his fellow soldiers and the French people. Here, he is seen leading his comrades in a marching ceremony, his military uniform adorned with the insignia of his rank and achievements. The flag of the first air group, carried proudly in his hands, symbolizes the unity and determination of the French military aviation corps during a time of great conflict. This historical image offers a poignant reminder of the bravery and sacrifice of Guynemer and his comrades, who fought valiantly for their country during the First World War.
