EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of preparation before a Handley Page bomber takes to the skies during the final months of the First World War. The date is August 29, 1918, and the scene unfolds on an active airfield. The biplane, with its distinctive wings folded, sits steadily on the grassy terrain as a Clayton tractor, a powerful engine of its own right, moves in to assist with positioning for takeoff. The Handley Page bomber was a crucial asset in the British military's arsenal during the Great War, capable of delivering significant payloads to enemy targets. The use of tractors like the Clayton became essential for maneuvering these large and heavy aircraft, especially during the crucial moments before takeoff. As the roar of the bomber's engines grew louder, the tension in the airfield would have been palpable, as the crew and ground personnel knew that every mission carried the risk of lives lost. This powerful image is a testament to the ingenuity, determination, and courage of those who served during the war effort, and the vital role that technology played in shaping the outcome of the conflict.
