View of Korçë (Koritza), Albania, July 1918 — WWI French Pilot Album

Captioned 'Koritza, Juillet 1918,' this photograph depicts the Albanian town of Korçë, a key location on the Macedonian Front during World War I where French forces established a short-lived autonomous republic and maintained a military and aviation presence. The image, from a French pilot's personal album, captures the traditional stone and tile-roofed architecture of the town nestled among the mountains, offering a rare civilian glimpse amid the wartime landscape of the Balkan front.
