EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print presents a fascinating glimpse into the early history of aerial warfare during World War I. The image depicts a diagram of a German aviator's bomb-dropping apparatus inside a Roland biplane, a model commonly used for reconnaissance and bombing missions during the conflict. The diagram illustrates the observer, seated in the front of the aircraft, operating the pedal board located on the floor of the fuselage. This mechanism released the plate beneath the plane, allowing bombs to be dropped during an attack or raid. The pilot, positioned at the rear of the biplane, steered the aircraft while the observer targeted and released the ordnance. This innovative system revolutionized the way air power was used in warfare, enabling Germany to transport and deploy bombs from the air with unprecedented efficiency. This historical diagram offers a unique perspective into the technological advancements and strategic innovations that shaped the skies during the Great War. Dated 1915, this image is an essential addition to any collection focusing on aviation history, military history, or the history of World War I.
