EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment before takeoff of Italian army aviator Captain Piazzi during the Italo-Turkish War in October 1911. The Italo-Turkish War marked the first use of aeroplanes in warfare and represented a significant turning point in military history. Here, Piazzi sits confidently in his monoplane, poised to ascend and reconnoitre Turkish positions outside Tripoli in Libya. The backdrop of the Eastern Mediterranean, with its clear blue skies and sun-kissed landscape, adds to the sense of adventure and anticipation. However, this moment of bravery and innovation came with great risk. Later reports revealed that Piazzi had been shot at while flying over enemy territory, and the wings of his plane were riddled with bullets. Despite the danger, Piazzi and other Italian aviators continued to play a crucial role in the conflict, providing valuable intelligence and support to ground forces. The Italo-Turkish War ended in October 1912 with the signing of the Treaty of Ouchy, which granted Italy control over Libya and several other territories in the Eastern Mediterranean, including the Dodecanese Islands. This victory marked the beginning of Italy's expansionist ambitions in the region and set the stage for future conflicts. This photograph is a testament to the courage and innovation of Italian army aviators during a pivotal moment in history. It serves as a reminder of the significant role that aviation played in the Italo-Turkish War and the broader impact it had on the development of military warfare.
