EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative group photograph captures the men of No. 2 Squadron, German Air Force, at the onset of the First World War in 1914. The image showcases a diverse assembly of officers and enlisted personnel, all proudly donning their military attire. Some of the men are wearing Jäger shakos, the distinctive cylindrical military caps that were popular among the German infantry and Jäger (hunters) units. These caps were characterized by their tall, cylindrical shape and were often adorned with a cockade and a pompom. The Prussian Guard stripes on the collars of some of the men in the photograph signify their affiliation with the elite and prestigious Prussian Guard, an elite military unit that was renowned for its discipline and excellence. The men in this photograph embody the spirit of the German military at the beginning of the Great War, a time when the world was on the brink of unprecedented change and upheaval. The aviation branch of the German military was a relatively new and evolving force during this period, and the men in this photograph represent the early pioneers of military aviation. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the courage and determination of the soldiers who took to the skies during World War I, risking their lives to gain a strategic advantage for their country.
