WW1 AEF Aero 157th 1918 Plane "forced landing" crash Chatillon-sur-Seine Photo

Description: This is an original WWI photo from pilot Sgt Alexander Wilson, 157th Aero Squadron, 1918. Served primarily out of Chatillon-sur-Seine, France. After the war he went on to the Second Corps School. These photos appear to have been taken by either him or others in his squadron and many are likely one of a kind. The back side of most photos from his scrapbook have remnants from being glued in. See photos for condition. Type & Size: A 4.5x2.5 original photograph. 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 from 1918 depicts four individuals standing beside an overturned aircraft in a grassy field, with an inscription reading "Forced Landing Due to Fog." The scene is likely linked to the operations of the 157th Aero Squadron, with which pilot Sgt. Alexander Wilson served primarily in France at the time. The image offers a glimpse into the challenges faced by pilots during World War I, particularly concerning adverse weather conditions that could affect their missions. The 157th Aero Squadron was involved in reconnaissance and combat missions throughout the war, often flying in challenging weather. Forced landings were not uncommon, as pilots had to navigate through fog, rain, and other weather hazards. This photograph captures a unique moment in aviation history and highlights the perseverance of these early aviators who faced numerous risks to perform their duties. Forced Landing Due to Fog
