EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, Lieutenant Rex Warneford, VC (Royal Flying Corps), proudly wears his hard-earned decorations after becoming a hero of the skies during World War I. The Victoria Cross (VC) and Legion d'Honneur medals draped over his uniform are a testament to his bravery and skill in downing a German Zeppelin over Belgium in 1915. Warneford, born on October 11, 1895, in England, joined the Royal Flying Corps in 1913. He quickly proved himself to be an exceptional pilot, and when the war broke out, he was eager to contribute to the fight against the Central Powers. In May 1915, while on patrol over Belgium, Warneford and his observer, Sergeant Leefe Robinson, spotted a German Zeppelin, LZ37, making its way towards London. Despite being outnumbered and outgunned, Warneford pursued the massive airship, firing his machine guns relentlessly. In an act of heroism, he flew directly at the Zeppelin, riddling it with bullets and causing it to catch fire. The airship, engulfed in flames, eventually crashed near the English coast, marking a significant victory for the Allied forces. Warneford's actions that day earned him the Victoria Cross, the highest military decoration for valor, and the Legion d'Honneur, France's highest military decoration. His heroism not only boosted morale but also demonstrated the potential of air power in modern warfare. Warneford continued to serve in the Royal Flying Corps until the end of the war, retiring as a Major in 1919. This photograph captures a moment in history, immortalizing the bravery and determination of a young pilot who changed the course of the war.
