A painting by my late father, James Field. He was an artist and illustrator with a passion for history. Below is the accompanying text he wrote at the time:
The emerging fighter ace Leutnant Oswald Boelcke takes nurse Blanka for a pleasure flight in his Fokker E1. News of these unofficial sorties quickly came to the attention of the C.O. who immediately banned any further misuse of his front line fighter aircraft.
