Pilot figures and military aviation personnel, including RAF and Royal Flying Corps subjects.
The wing badge and officer’s clothing identify an aviator even without flying goggles or an aircraft. This standing Del Prado subject belongs to the American air service of the First World War, an organisation still within the Army.
Del Prado presents Guynemer standing in uniform with his hands in his pockets. The relaxed pose gives a famous aviator a human scale and allows the story to move beyond a tally of victories.
Harness straps and observation equipment make this figure an aviation subject without an aeroplane. The balloon observer represents one of the practical links between flight, reconnaissance and the guns on the ground.
Kain’s story belongs to No. 73 Squadron in France. The scarf, goggles and shoulder strap identify the figure; his June 1940 death rules out a Battle of Britain scene.
A folded map and sleeve chevrons make SOL045 a study of early military aviation. Reconnaissance reports mattered before fighter combat became its defining image.
