EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph from 1917, members of the Aircraft Standardization Board - Joint Army-Navy Technical Board come together in a determined assembly. Seated to the left is Ericsson, in charge of Canadian aircraft, with George K. Burgess of the Bureau of Standards seated to his right. The group includes ten other unidentified individuals, all deeply engrossed in their discussion. This image captures a pivotal moment during the First World War, as experts from both the Army and Navy joined forces to address the challenges of aircraft standardization and development. The photograph is a testament to the collaborative spirit and technical ingenuity that drove the advancement of air transport during this era. George Kimball Burgess, a renowned physicist, is pictured in the back row, far right. Burgess' presence underscores the multidisciplinary nature of the board, which brought together individuals from various backgrounds and expertise to tackle the complex issues of aviation technology. The photograph was taken by Harris & Ewing, a prominent photographic studio of the time. The studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing in 1902, was known for its high-quality glass negatives and was a significant contributor to the Heritage Art Collection at the Library of Congress. This evocative image offers a glimpse into the old boys network of the early aviation industry, where expertise and knowledge were shared among a select group of dedicated individuals. Their collective efforts would ultimately shape the course of military aviation and pave the way for future advancements in air transport.
