EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time from the early days of aviation history. Titled "Pilots Awaiting Their Turn," the image dates back to around 1903 and was likely taken on the shores of a body of water in the United States. A group of pilots, dressed in their flying gear and hats, stand on the deck of a ship, their eyes fixed on the horizon as they wait for their turn to take off. Some lean casually against the railing, while others fiddle with their goggles or adjust their flying helmets. In the background, the American flag snaps in the wind, and a banner bearing the logo of the Detroit Publishing Company flutters above the deck. The pilots' concentration and anticipation are palpable, as they prepare to embark on their next adventure. This historic photograph, taken using a dry plate negative process, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the courage and determination of these early aviators as they pushed the boundaries of human flight.
