EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Gabriele D'Annunzio et son pilote, le capitaine Ermanno Beltramo' (Gabriele D'Annunzio and his pilot, Captain Ermanno Beltramo), dates back to the First World War era, around 1916. The image is part of the 'Collection de la Guerre IV' from the French publication 'L'Illustration Tome CXLVII. La Guerre Janvier, Fevrier, Mars, Avril, Mai, Juin 1916.' The photograph features the renowned Italian poet, author, and military aviator, Gabriele D'Annunzio (1863-1938), sitting in the cockpit of an open-seat biplane. Accompanying him is his pilot, Captain Ermanno Beltramo, who is seen wearing a leather helmet and goggles, ready to take off. D'Annunzio, a prominent figure in Italian literature, became famous for his daring exploits as a fighter pilot during the war. The image showcases the early days of aerial warfare and air transport, with the men dressed in their flying gear, ready for action. The biplane, with its exposed engine and wings, symbolizes the technological advancements of the time. The contrast between the poetic and artistic figure of D'Annunzio and the practical and utilitarian role of Beltramo highlights the diverse roles that men played during the war. The photograph is a testament to the bravery and innovation of the airmen during the First World War, and the significant impact that aviation had on the conflict. The image remains an intriguing piece of history, capturing a moment in time that showcases the intersection of art, literature, and military history.
