And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Jun 20 1918 “A French Voisin bomber at the Villacoublay aerodrome”
Nice pic and description here - I think the 'bomb' is an ECM pod :-) https://airandspace.si.edu/collection-objects/voisin-type-8 Those early aviators were grave, that's for sure!
Tricycle gear on that. Interesting and ahead of it's time.
ReplyDeleteQuadcycle?
DeleteIt took big brass balls to go to war in that.
ReplyDeleteGo to war in it?? Hell, I wouldn't even taxi it.
DeleteFrom the look of the placement of the bomb, it has to be a dive bomber.
