EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the sight of a British FE2B night bomber, illuminated by floodlights against the inky darkness of the Western Front during the First World War. The FE2B, a biplane manufactured by the Royal Aircraft Factory with a 160 horsepower Beardmore engine, was a formidable addition to the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) arsenal. This particular aircraft belonged to No. 100 Squadron, a unit that specialised in night bombing missions. The FE2B's distinctive silhouette, with its two-seater open cockpit and biplane wings, stands out against the dimly lit landscape. The floodlights, casting an eerie glow on the plane, not only serve to highlight its features but also provide a sense of the industriousness and determination of the Allied forces during this period. The plane's engine, a Beardmore 230hp liquid-cooled V-12, was a powerful and reliable workhorse that enabled the FE2B to carry out its nighttime sorties. The use of floodlights for aircraft during this era was a relatively new innovation, designed to aid in maintenance and repair work. However, their application in night bombing missions was a testament to the ingenuity and adaptability of the military during the First World War. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the bravery and innovation of the pilots and ground crews who operated under the cover of darkness, risking their lives to support the war effort. The FE2B night bomber, with its powerful Beardmore engine and innovative flood lighting, was a vital component of the RFC's night bombing campaign on the Western Front. This photograph, taken between 1914 and 1918, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of war, courage, and technological advancement.
