EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the intensity of the air-sea battle that unfolded on October 30, 1915, during the First World War. Titled "Enemy aeroplanes attacking a British steamer," the photograph by G.H. Davis depicts the Avocet, a British steamship on its journey from Rotterdam to Manchester, under attack by three German planes. The Avocet's crew bravely defended their vessel, firing rifles at their assailants from the deck. The German planes, seen in the background, drop bombs and bullets from the sky, their menacing silhouettes casting long shadows over the churning waves. The Avocet's sails are tattered and torn, a testament to the fierce engagement. Remarkably, all the bombs dropped by the German planes missed their target, and the Avocet and her crew emerged victorious. This historical photograph offers a glimpse into the early days of aerial warfare during WWI, when the use of aircraft in combat was still a relatively new and untested strategy. The Avocet's successful defense against the German planes demonstrates the resilience and resourcefulness of those on the front lines, as well as the importance of quick thinking and adaptability in the face of new and evolving threats. The image is a poignant reminder of the bravery and determination of those who served during the Great War, and the innovative tactics and technologies that shaped the course of history. This powerful photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of historical images or WWI memorabilia.
