EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense preparations taking place aboard the French aircraft carrier "Foch" during the NATO military intervention in Kosovo. The image showcases a moment of precision and teamwork as technical staff assist a pilot of a Super-Etendard fighter plane to position for takeoff on the deck of the carrier. Set against the stunning backdrop of the Adriatic Sea, off the Italian coast, this snapshot highlights both the power and vulnerability inherent in war. The Foch, an integral part of NATO's aerial warfare operations over Yugoslavia, houses two Super-Frelon helicopters on standby for combat search and rescue missions (CSAR), along with laser-guided 250 kg bomb-equipped Super-Etendard fighter planes. This visual testament to military might is a reminder that behind every successful mission lies countless hours of meticulous planning and unwavering dedication from personnel like those depicted here. Photographed by Thomas Coex from Agence France-Presse (AFP), this electronic image immortalizes an important chapter in history when nations united under NATO's banner to restore peace and stability in Kosovo. It serves as a poignant reminder not only of our collective ability to confront conflict but also our responsibility to seek diplomatic solutions whenever possible
