Rare photos of Guynemer
Hi, everyone!
I was nosing around on the internet and I came across a wonder group of images of Georges Guynemer! Many of these I had never seen before. Most are head shots. They look like out-takes from a PR photo session while Guynemer was recouperating from a wound. They can be found at the French Ministry of Culture site: Ministčre de la culture - memoire Enjoy!

I tried the second link, it worked fine. Thanks for posting the link! These pictures are from better times before his combat fatigue inexorably drew him towards death´s door. He´s smiling in a few of them.
Kind regards, Reinout

Hello
Many thanks for your thread These photos are negatives from a very well known French photograh whose name was NADAR-Legend of some guynemer pics is in French "bras en écharpe" which means in English i think,"arm in a sling" at a moment when Gyunemer was certainly convalescent. Others aviators can be seen too like Roland garros. Cordialement BRUNO

Amazing photos! What a difference there is between this Guynemer and the later man aged by war. He looks so very young!
Thank you for the link! FliegerJG1

FliegerJG1,
I agree he does look young. I have always thought he seems to look so melancholy in most of his pictures. Have you noticed? Thanks for the post Tom. Phil
