EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous historical event - a British sea-plane soaring gracefully over the ancient city of Damascus. The year is 1914, and the world is embroiled in the turmoil of World War I. In this image, we witness a symbol of power and innovation as the plane navigates through the skies above one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world.
The contrast between the modern technology of the sea-plane and the timeless beauty of Damascus creates a striking visual narrative. The plane represents progress and advancement, while below it lies a city steeped in centuries of history and culture.
As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we are reminded of the pivotal role that air power played during WWI. Sea-planes were essential for reconnaissance missions, bombing raids, and transporting supplies to troops on both land and sea.
Through this photograph from Mary Evans Picture Library, we are transported back to a moment when war raged across continents but also witnessed incredible feats of human ingenuity. It serves as a poignant reminder of how events from our past continue to shape our present and future.
