EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the remains of German air ace Max Immelmann's aeroplane, shot down on 18 June 1916 during the First World War. The image, taken circa 1916, depicts the twisted and debris-laden metal wreckage of the aircraft, lying in a field near Annay, northern France. Immelmann, a decorated pilot with 17 confirmed victories to his name, was a formidable opponent in the skies above the Western Front. On this fateful day, he met his end at the hands of 2nd Lieutenant G R McCubbin of the 26th Squadron, Royal Flying Corps. The cross emblem on the wreckage is a poignant reminder of Immelmann's German heritage and his status as a respected figure in the annals of military aviation history. The image offers a haunting glimpse into the brutal realities of war time flight, with the plane's remnants a testament to the destructive power of combat in the skies above the Western Front.
