EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a line of British BE2C biplanes of No. 13 Squadron, neatly arranged on the grassy airfield at Gosport, Hampshire, in October 1915. The First World War was in full swing, and these aircraft were poised and ready for their next mission to France. The BE2C was a two-seat biplane, manufactured by the British and French aircraft company, and was widely used for reconnaissance and light bombing missions. With the roar of their engines barely audible, the pilots and their crews waited anxiously for the order to take off and join their comrades in the theatre of war. The crisp autumn air hung heavy with anticipation and the weight of history. The planes, with their wings outstretched and propellers at the ready, stood as symbols of the Great War's relentless march forward. This image offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of a military airfield during wartime, and serves as a poignant reminder of the courage and determination of the men and women who took to the skies to defend their country.
