EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph from 1918 showcases a selection of the latest aeroplanes that graced the skies during the final year of the First World War. Among these aviation marvels are the Bristol Type 118, a versatile general-purpose military biplane used by the Royal Flying Corps (RFC), and the Handley Page Type O/400 bomber, affectionately known as the "Giant Bombdropper" or "Bombdropper." The Bristol was a two-seater biplane, equipped with machine guns for self-defense, while the Handley Page was a formidable all-purpose bomber, capable of carrying large payloads for devastating aerial raids. Another iconic fighter aircraft depicted in this image is the Sopwith Triplane Scout, a British single-seat fighter that outperformed many of its contemporaries with its innovative tri-wing design. The Sopwith Triplane was a formidable adversary in the skies, with its agility and maneuverability making it a favorite among pilots. Additionally, the photograph features the F.E.2, a two-seat pusher biplane that served multiple roles for the RFC. Operated as both a day and night bomber and as a fighter, the F.E.2 was a versatile and essential aircraft for the British forces during the war. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the technological advancements of the time, as these aeroplanes, with their powerful engines and innovative designs, revolutionized the way wars were fought in the skies. The Hunnish devices, as the enemy's aircraft were often referred to, were a constant threat, making the development and deployment of these advanced machines crucial for the Allied forces' success.
