Georges Guynemer, French fighter ace, c1916
Georges Guynemer, French fighter ace, c1916. Guynemer (1894-1917) became the first French ace to attain 50 victories, a mark he reached at the end of July 1917. As his tally grew, Guynemer was lionized by the French press and became a national hero, with his exploits going some way to taking the publics mind off the appalling losses being sustained in the trenches at the time. On 11 September 1917, with a total of 53 kills to his credit, Guynemer was apparently shot down after attacking a German observation plane. Neither his aeroplane nor his body were ever found

Guynemer's remarkable achievements as a pilot are highlighted in this photograph. He became the first French ace to achieve 50 victories by July 1917, earning him widespread acclaim from both the press and the public.

This print serves as a poignant reminder of Guynemer's bravery and skill as one of France's greatest aviators during World War I. It encapsulates not only his role as a national hero but also symbolizes the sacrifices made by countless individuals who fought valiantly in aerial warfare.
