I really like the juxtaposition of old and new on this photo. Not to mention it could be used a powerful anti-war message as well.
Even though the actual message (on the pigeon) probably was very pro-war. I can’t imagine the crew spreading love and happiness during engagements. They probably wanted more ammo or fuel.
Brave birds. People shot at everything passing overhead then, not just biplanes.
Pistol ports make me think of Ferdinands btw..
