EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene at Maktau Camp in Kenya, East Africa, during the First World War in 1916. The image showcases a tented aircraft hangar, a testament to the innovative solutions adopted during wartime to house and protect the fragile aeroplanes. The hangar, with its rows of tents, offers shelter from the harsh African climate, providing a vital function in the transportation of planes to the front lines. The 1910s were a period of rapid advancement in aviation technology, and the need for efficient and effective storage solutions became increasingly important. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a visual representation of the ingenuity and resourcefulness of those involved in the war effort. The tented hangar at Maktau Camp stands as a symbol of the determination and resilience of the Allied forces during this pivotal time in history.
