EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, created by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing in 1917, showcases the National Aero Coast Patrol Commission's Curtiss Biplane with two engines and floats, exhibited at the Senate Office Building. The image captures the spirit of innovation and progress during the early 1900s, as aviation technology advanced rapidly. The biplane, manufactured by the Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company, is a testament to the industrial prowess of America during the First World War. The mechanics, likely from the National Aero Coast Patrol Commission, work diligently on the aircraft, their focused expressions conveying the importance of their job. The aviators, dressed in their flying gear, stand nearby, perhaps ready for a demonstration or inspection. The Capitol Building can be seen in the background, symbolizing the connection between the military and the government during this period. The photograph, taken by George William Harris or possibly Martha Ewing Newcombe, is part of the extensive Harris Ewing Collection housed in the Library of Congress. The glass negative captures the intricate details of the biplane, from the engine components to the floats, offering a glimpse into the past. This image is an essential addition to any aviation, industrial, or historical collection, providing a window into the early days of aviation and the critical role it played in shaping the world we live in today.
