Tribute to Georges Lachmann by Ivan Berryman. [Original Painting]

Georges Lachmann was a French Ace pilot credited with a total of 9 victories during World War One. He is shown here in his Spad S.VII armed with Le Prieur rockets lining up to claim one of four balloon victories, this being one of the three balloons he claimed in Russia in late 1917. Notable for becoming an Ace while surviving as a serving pilot from the beginning to the end of the war, he lived into his 70s and died in 1961.
