Condition: The photos from this lot are very old and condition varies. Please see photos. The back side of most photos in this lot have remnants from being glued in a scrapbook. This original photograph captures a group of six pilots from the 157th Aero Squadron during World War I, specifically in 1918. It is believed that the image was taken at Chatillon-sur-Seine, France, where the squadron primarily operated. The men are dressed in military uniforms, striking various poses, with some standing behind those seated. The background features a simple garden area, hinting at a moment of respite for these airmen amid the war. The 157th Aero Squadron played a notable role in the air conflict, providing reconnaissance and support missions. Pilots in such squadrons were crucial for gathering intelligence and protecting ground troops. The camaraderie and spirit among airmen were paramount, especially as they faced the dangers of aerial dogfights and challenging missions at the front lines. The significance of preserving these moments through photography underscores the importance of documentation in military history. There are no visible signs or captions present on the photo itself that can be transcribed.
