"Bring It Around"

Bring It Around
open edition print, 13” x 19”

Known as the "Iron Eagle" (Der Eiserne Adler), Vzfw Paul
Bäumer served in an infantry regiment before his transfer
to the German Air Service. Although he flew a variety of
types while in the service, he preferred the maneuverability
and agility of the Fokker Dr.1. He was one of only five pilots
to be awarded both the Blue Max and the Golden Military
Merit Cross. He survived the war with 43 victories to his
credit, and following the war, he became a dentist and
continued flying. He was killed while performing an
aerobatic display in 1927. "Bring It Around" is a depiction
of the Fokker Dr.1, serial 204/17, which he flew with Jasta 2
(Boelcke). Because of its lack of a steerable tail skid, the
Dr.1 often had to be maneuvered into position by
groundcrew. With a man on each wing and one at the tail
shouting directions, Bäumer revs his engine and begins to
turn his machine into the wind for takeoff.

Printed on acid free stock with fade resistant inks, the print
is signed by Russell Smith.
