EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the 1910 Bournemouth Meeting, we see three distinguished gentlemen who played a significant role in aviation history. Capt. Bertram Dickson stands confidently on the left, his presence commanding attention. Next to him is J Armstrong Drexel, Cert. #14, showcasing his passion for flight with pride. The focus of this image is not solely on competition but rather on the camaraderie and innovation that fueled early aviation endeavors. On the right side of the photograph stands William D McArdle, although not officially entered as a competitor, he was an essential figure in this story. Both McArdle and Drexel were trailblazing Americans who had established a flying school at nearby Brockenhurst. Their dedication to advancing aviation knowledge led them to equip their school with seven Bleriots – a testament to their commitment to progress. This snapshot captures a moment frozen in time when these pioneers gathered together during an event that showcased the incredible potential of human flight. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come since then and honors those whose unwavering determination paved the way for modern aviation. As we admire this historical photograph, let us remember these men's contributions and celebrate their spirit of exploration that continues to inspire aviators around the world today.
