WORLD WAR I

A collection of WW1 photos of bases and events

Photos from WW1's 2A/C Harold Edwards' collection.  They include some 3 Squadron's airfield locations during 1917-18.

For keen followers of World War One aircraft, here is a page that, whilst it isn't about 3 Squadron, has some authentic and extra-ordinary aircraft pictures taken in 1917-18 by a RNAS man, Captain Harold Watson whilst he was a Navy pilot, specialising in experimental flying from various WW1 ships.
