EDITORS COMMENTS
Les Risques de 'Metier' (The Risks of the Profession): The Gotha, a quadriplace and bi-motor aircraft, shot down in the Forest of Compiegne on the evening of March 8, 1918. This haunting photograph captures the aftermath of a devastating loss during the First World War. The wreckage of the German Gotha, a biplane known for its quadriplace capacity and two engines, lies crumpled in the forest, a stark reminder of the dangers faced by aviators during wartime. In the background, a crowd of onlookers, a mixture of military personnel and civilians, gather to witness the scene. The image, titled 'Les Risques de "Metier" (The Risks of the Profession)', was published in 'L'Illustration', a French weekly magazine, in 1924. The Gotha was a formidable aircraft for its time, but it was not invincible. This particular plane was shot down during a bombing raid over France, marking a significant loss for the German air force. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war, with the wreckage symbolizing the risks and dangers that came with the profession of being an aviator during the First World War. The photograph, from the collection of 'L'Illustration', is a powerful testament to the history of the conflict, providing a glimpse into the past and the sacrifices made during the 20th century's first global war.
