EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "King of Air Fighters" captures the essence of bravery and determination in the face of danger. The image showcases Major Edward Corringham "Mick". Mannock VC, a legendary British First World War flying ace, who fearlessly took to the skies during early flight missions. In this half-length portrait, Major Mannock stands tall with an air of confidence and authority. His piercing gaze reflects his unwavering commitment to defending his country from above. Dressed in his pilot's uniform, he exudes a sense of power and strength. The sepia tones add a timeless quality to the photograph, transporting us back to an era when aviation was still in its infancy. The grainy texture further enhances the historical significance captured within each frame. Notably, Major Mannock's fur gloves serve as a reminder that even amidst soaring altitudes and freezing temperatures, he remained resolute in his duty. These gloves symbolize both protection against the elements and resilience against adversity. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by brave individuals like Major Edward Corringham Mannock VC.
