EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the young and slim Theodor Osterkamp (1892-1975), a German pilot and the highest scoring fighter ace with the Imperial Naval Air Service during World War I. Seen here, Osterkamp sits confidently on the portside wheel of his Fokker EV 156/18, a plane that played a significant role in the German air force's successes during the war. The image, taken circa 1917-1918, showcases Osterkamp's focused expression and the intricate details of the aircraft's design. Born in Germany, Osterkamp began his military service in the Imperial German Army before transferring to the Imperial Naval Air Service in 1915. Quickly rising through the ranks, he became an ace in 1916, shooting down a total of 32 enemy planes. His exceptional piloting skills and strategic acumen made him a formidable opponent in the skies of the Western Front. After the war, Osterkamp continued his aviation career, joining the newly formed Luftwaffe during World War II. He reached the rank of Generalleutnant (the equivalent of Air Vice Marshal) before retiring from military service in 1945. This photograph, with its historical significance and captivating composition, offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable aviation pioneer and military leader.
