EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures the American members of the Lafayette Escadrille during World War I, a group of brave pilots who flew combat missions for France before the United States entered the war. The image showcases Victor Chapman, Elliott Cowdin, William Thaw, Norman Prince, Kiffin Rockwell, Bert Hall, Lieutenant Delnage, J.R. McConnell, and Captain Thenault standing together in their military attire.
Each man exudes a sense of determination and courage as they prepare to take to the skies in defense of their country. Their steely gazes and strong stances reflect their commitment to serving with honor and valor.
Among them is James Rogers McConnell, whose legacy as a fearless pilot lives on despite his tragic death in 1917. Commander Georges Thenault stands tall at their side, leading this elite group of aviators into battle with unwavering leadership.
This historic photograph serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by these men during one of the most tumultuous times in world history. It immortalizes their bravery and camaraderie as they fought for freedom and justice on foreign soil.
As we look upon this image from over a century ago, we are reminded of the enduring spirit of patriotism and heroism that continues to inspire us today.
