WW1 Pic Of the Day (1 Viewer)

The truly great photographs need no captions and transcend the where and the when, such as this.

There is some conjecture as to whether this photograph of J18, a composite Mk V, was taken the day prior to or the day following the 'black day of the German Army'. I suspect it is the day before given the perceived undertaking of concealment.

Furthermore, keep this photograph in mind over the coming months..........

Vickers Gunbus.

I think this may have been the first plane that Biggles flew in combat.

Frank Hurley's photographic tribute to the anonymous heroes of the A.I.F. Ypres sector, 5 October 1917. A special photograph to me as it was taken on the same day my Grandfather was killed in action not far from the same spot.
