Action Georges Guynemer Hero Jules Lieutenant Ludovic Marie Pilot Preparation Preparing Tryptych
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative tryptych captures the intense moment of preparation before French fighter ace, Georges Marie Ludovic Jules Guynemer (1894-1917), went into action during the First World War in June 1917. As a top pilot for France, Guynemer was a national hero at the time of his tragic death. In this powerful image, we see Guynemer standing confidently before his aircraft, his gaze focused intently on the horizon. The tryptych format allows us to observe the meticulous process of his pre-flight routine, from adjusting his goggles and checking his instruments, to examining the wings and engine of his Nieuport 17 fighter. The atmosphere is one of determination and resolve, as Guynemer readies himself for the dangerous mission ahead. The backdrop of the war-torn landscape and the ominous clouds in the sky underscore the gravity of the situation. This poignant photographic portrait pays tribute to the bravery and heroism of Guynemer and the many pilots who risked their lives in the skies during the First World War.
