EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures an Italian MAS (Motoscafo Armato Silurante, or Torpedo Armed Motorboat) navigating the turbulent waters of the Mediterranean Sea during the First World War. The year is estimated to be between 1915 and 1918. The MAS boat, a deadly weapon of the Italian Navy, is armed with torpedoes and is maneuvering skillfully through the waves. In this particular instance, the boat is accompanied by a large balloon, which is likely used for reconnaissance purposes. The balloon, tethered to the boat, provides an elevated vantage point for observers to scan the horizon for enemy ships or submarines. The Italian MAS boats were instrumental in the Italian Navy's offensive operations, particularly in the Adriatic Sea. Their speed and maneuverability made them formidable opponents, and their torpedoes were a significant threat to enemy vessels. This photograph offers a glimpse into the intense and dangerous world of naval warfare during the First World War, as Italian MAS boats like this one played a crucial role in the defense and offense of the Italian Navy.
