The plane was colorful?
Nice facekini
Pretty crazy to think of the shit we’ve come up with just to kill each other.
My first thought as well. Less than a decade after man has our first success with powered flight and we’ve figured out how to attach machine guns and drop bombs.
Let’s build an ICBM … it can kill everyone in an entire city
Wow, that’s crazy
Yeah, let’s build a few hundred of these things just to make sure
The plane looks the most like a Fokker D.VI: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fokker_D.VI.
There were only 60 made, so that makes this a rare photo. I like the different colored flares, likely for communication to the ground. Can anyone who knows guns give some more info in the side-mounted piece?
I think it might be a flare gun.
That big mofo on the opposite side of the pilot?
Sorry, thought you meant the one hanging off the edge nearest the pilot. XD
I think the one in back is an MG14, but I’m no expert.
