A downed FB 5 Gunbus. The pilot is surrendering to the Germans and appears to be saluting his captors.

Re: Planes Of The First War In The Air

Caproni Ca 33 bomber. It used three 150HP engines, two tractor engines up front and a third pusher engine in the rear. The rear gunner stood on an open basket-platform above the rear of the top wing...they must have had cojones of steel to stand up there during the long winter flights over the Alps on bombing missions.
