EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment when Dr. Jewell, a British medical officer serving in Kenya during World War I, laid his eyes on the Caudron G111 biplane for the first time. The image was taken at Maktau Camp, located in the eastern part of Africa, in the year 1916. The Caudron G111, a French-designed observation aircraft, was a common sight in the skies above the East African battlefields during the war. The plane's open-cockpit design, with its two wings and fabric-covered fuselage, is a testament to the ingenuity and technological advancements of the early aviation era. The Caudron G111 was an essential tool for Allied forces, providing valuable intelligence on enemy movements and troop positions. The photograph offers a glimpse into the harsh realities of wartime life in East Africa during the 1910s. The arid landscape of Maktau Camp is dotted with tents, making it a stark contrast to the blue sky and white clouds above. Dr. Jewell, dressed in his military uniform, stands next to the plane, his expression revealing a mix of curiosity and awe. The Caudron G111's arrival at Maktau Camp marked a significant moment in the war effort, as it represented the latest in aviation technology being employed to gain an advantage over the enemy. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the role aviation played in shaping the outcome of the First World War and the sacrifices made by those who served in the conflict.
