The Old Order Changeth: A Humorous Take on the Evolution of Aerial Warfare in WWI (1918) This delightful cartoon, titled "The Old Order Changeth," captures the essence of the rapid advancements in military technology during World War I. Dated 1918, this humorous illustration depicts a Flight-Sergeant in the midst of an observation balloon, surrounded by his team of balloonists. The caption reads, "In future when we go up, just give the order 'Let Go,' instead of 'Let go the guys.'" The scene is a stark contrast to the traditional methods of warfare, with the sergeant donning modern headphones and a map spread out before him. The balloonists, dressed in their old uniforms, cling to the ropes, seemingly unsure of their new roles in this evolving warfare. The humor in this cartoon lies in the juxtaposition of old and new, as the military adapts to the use of observation balloons for reconnaissance. The sergeant's command, "Let Go," is a nod to the outdated method of releasing the observers from the balloon, while the use of headphones and a map represents the new, more efficient ways of gathering intelligence. This charming print serves as a reminder of the transformative nature of warfare during WWI and the importance of adapting to new technologies. The cartoon's lighthearted take on the subject offers a unique perspective on the historical events of the time. With its rich details and clever caption, this print is an excellent addition to any collection focused on WWI, military history, or humorous cartoons. Observe and enjoy the humor and history that unfolds in this piece.
