EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative drawing by Maurice Busset captures the intensity and danger of the Spad squad, a French unit of machine-gunning German positions during the final months of World War I in July 1918. The scene is set against the backdrop of the European theatre of war, with the rolling hills and verdant foliage of the battlefield providing a stark contrast to the grim determination etched on the faces of the men. The Spad, or Société Pour l'Aviation et ses Derivés, was a renowned French aircraft manufacturer, and its biplanes were widely used by the Allied forces during the conflict. In this image, we see several Spad machines taking off from the makeshift airfield, their propellers churning up clouds of dust as they prepare to engage the enemy. The men of the squad, dressed in their leather helmets and goggles, are poised and ready, their machine guns trained on the distant German lines. The tension in the air is palpable, as they know that every second could mean the difference between life and death. The drawing also highlights the camaraderie and solidarity among the soldiers, as they work together to accomplish their mission. The group dynamic is emphasized by the way the men are arranged in the image, with their bodies overlapping and their gazes focused on the task at hand. This historical image offers a glimpse into the bravery and sacrifice of the soldiers who fought in the Great War, and serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of conflict. The drawing is a testament to the skill and artistry of Maurice Busset, who captured the essence of the scene with remarkable detail and emotion.
