EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the aftermath of a pivotal moment in the history of aviation and warfare: the wreckage of German air ace Max Immelmann's aeroplane, shot down on 18 June 1916. The scene unfolds in the northern French village of Annay, near Lens, during the First World War. Immelmann, a decorated pilot with an impressive record of 12 aerial victories, met his end at the hands of 2nd Lieutenant G R McCubbin of the 26th Squadron, Royal Flying Corps (RFC). The photograph shows the damaged aircraft, its metal frame twisted and bent, surrounded by German soldiers. The scene is a stark reminder of the brutal realities of war and the fragility of human life, even in the face of technological advancements. The image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the skies were a battleground and the world was forever changed by the advent of air combat. This poignant image is a testament to the courage and determination of the pilots who took to the skies during the Great War, and serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made during this pivotal period in history.
