Study for 'the sea of galilee- aeroplanes attacking turkish boats, 1919' (iwm art 3080)
image: an aerial view over the sea of galilee, flanked by hills on the right-hand shore, the river jordan in the lower left
and a snow-capped mount hermon rising above clouds in upper right of the composition. Two biplanes fly above the lake and another flies at a lower altitude towards the four small, dark shapes of turkish motorboats moving on the water below. A line curves down from the upper right, ending in a tear-drop shape, indicating that something has been dropped from a plane above. Date: 1919 (First World War).
