ART-Importance of downing the 2-seaters

[joegertler]

I just found this 12 x 18 two-page spread insert print for the British periodical "The Aeroplane," Oct. 30. 1918. The title is "The Hunters." The bottom caption mentions that "the Hannoveraner is one of the fastest and best types they possess." As often discussed in other threads, they mention that "many people are apt to overlook what the results of these fights may mean to the Armies on the ground. In such an incident as this illustrated, where our machines are attacking enemy two seaters which were flying over our lines, it must always be rememberred that these hostile aircraft attempt to make trips over our terrritory for the purpose of taking photographs, directing their artillery fire on our positions, and reporting troops and transport movements. It will easily be seen that it is of the utmost importance that such enemies be brought down..." Enjoy.
