EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the past, showcasing the assembly of a Siemens Schuckert-Werken R VI giant bomber at the company's workshop during World War I. Serial number 6/15, the only one of its kind ever built, can be seen taking shape on the factory floor. The R VI was a six-man bomber, an impressive feat for the era, and it went into operational service on the Eastern Front towards the end of 1916. This aircraft was a testament to the technological advancements and engineering prowess of the time. The image transports us back to the early days of aviation, an era of innovation and discovery, where the possibilities of flight were limitless. The vast size of the R VI is evident as it dwarfs the workers in the background, a stark reminder of the immense impact technology had on the war effort. This photograph is an invaluable piece of history, offering a unique perspective into the world of wartime aviation and the men and machines that shaped it.
