At the School for Strafing: A Unique Image from World War I (Courtesy of the Estate of Mrs. J.C. Robinson/Pollinger Ltd/ILN/Mary Evans, Date: 1916) This intriguing photograph captures a moment from the unusual training grounds of World War I, where students were prepared for the role of bomb droppers on count zeppelins. The image, titled "At the School for Strafing," shows a group of men intently focusing on their targets during an evening class. The students are seated at long tables, each with a string and a wooden model of a zeppelin suspended above. Their task is to practice aiming and releasing their bombs at the correct moment to maximize damage. The low-flying zeppelin, a menacing presence in the night sky, looms in the background, emphasizing the urgency and importance of their training. The image is a testament to the innovative methods employed during the war to prepare soldiers for the evolving nature of combat. The use of air craft as weapons had become an integral part of the war effort, and precision and accuracy were essential skills for those tasked with dropping bombs from the sky. The photograph offers a unique glimpse into the daily life of soldiers during this period, revealing the determination and focus required to contribute to the war effort. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by individuals during this pivotal moment in history. This photograph is a valuable historical record, showcasing the dedication and commitment of those who served during World War I. It is a testament to the human spirit and the lengths to which people will go to protect their country and loved ones.
