Scenes from Royal Flying Corps Flying School in Ismailia, Egypt, 1917-1918

Konnie took all these pictures while he was in the Royal Flying Corps in Egypt, during 1917-1918. The camera he used is now in possession of one of Konnie's grandsons. The original negatives of these are now in the National Photographic Library in Ottawa, Canada and copies are available to the public. Go to Archives and use 'Johannesson' as the keyword.
