EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Army Aviation, College Park Aviation Field, 2nd Season - Lt. H. Geiger, Lt. T. Dew. Milling, 1912," showcases two early aviation pioneers, Lieutenant Harold Geiger and Lieutenant Thomas DeWitt Milling, at the College Park Aviation Field during its second season. The image, created by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, captures the duo in their aviator apparel, embodying the spirit of innovation and courage that defined the early days of aviation. Lieutenant Harold Geiger, identified as the sixth military aviator in the United States, is seen wearing a leather flying jacket, a helmet with goggles, and a pair of gloves. Tragically, Geiger met his end in a plane crash in 1927. Milling, on the other hand, is the first rated pilot in the history of the United States Air Force. Both men are dressed in casual attire beneath their aviator gear, adding a human touch to their otherwise iconic roles. The photograph was taken during the 1910s, a time when the aviation industry was in its infancy. The Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company, a significant player in the industry, is evident in the background of the image. The photograph, reminiscent of the era's glass negatives, is a testament to the rich history of aviation in America. This photograph, part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the fashion, technology, and pioneering spirit of early aviation. The image is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of aviation, military history, or the evolution of American industry.
