I don't normally post here and I usually post WW2 fotos on the photo forum but I recently picked up these two WW1 Aircraft photos and decided it would better to post them on this forum.

Great photo
I like the engine exhaust header. You can see they were
trying to get as much horse power as they could from the motors.Comment

Well, these are not aviators in airplanes but we should not forget them. But they are aviators -- in Balloons. First up is probably a shot from 1917.Last edited by regular122; 07-19-2007, 09:54 PM.Comment

Detail. I always enjoy studying the detail of old photos and the activity involved. This photo is only about 2" x 3"Comment

And now a German balloon as viewed from the other side. This shot was taken by First Sergeant Roland Caley of the US 3rd Balloon Company. Probably taken in Sep-Oct 1918.Comment

Detail. Note the road sign and broken caisson on the left and the two soldiers standing on the right. That's it for now. SteveComment

What goes up, must come down. A spectacular and rare shot from a Keystone card of an American Spad 13 flaming a German Balloon. The faint trace of a stripe and a '1' on the wing lead me to believe this is a shot of CPT Eddie Rickenbacker scoring against one of his five balloon victories while flying SPAD XIII (S4523).
