Title 14 assorted Royal Flying Corps photographs
Nationality British
Period c 1916
Sold

These photos, some 14 in all (only 10 here), came out of an album belonging to H. Colby (I bought them from the family and he is the one sitting cross-legged on the ground in the middle of the first group photo). He served with No. 6 Training Squadron at RAF Montrose (I also have his 'Air Board Technical Notes').

The best part of these photos show the maternity tunic in all its variations for different ranks. I imagine he photographed the pilots (with their aeroplanes) whom he served as ground crew.

There are quite a few other photos, but all of the box Brownie variety and mostly rather badly faded. These are the best.

If you want to comment on this item—re quality, age, etc—please email me.

testimonials

Just a brief note to confirm that the sabre has been delivered today. All is as it should be. I have to say I’m impressed with the ‘custom’ packaging, obviously essential in your line of business. I have made a very quick inspection of the sword & it fully lives up to your accurate description, very pleased with the purchase.

I am just dropping your company a line to say thank you for the 2nd WW Iron Cross, that my brother has purchased off your site Thursday evening. We received it 1st class today and it is in excellent condition. Many thanks again.
