EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment before takeoff as aviation pioneer Gustav W. Hamel prepares for his flight from Hendon Aerodrome in London, UK, on 28th August 1913. Dressed in his leather flying helmet and goggles, Hamel is seen adjusting the fabric wings of his Morane-Soulnier monoplane, a French-designed single-seat biplane that was popular among early aviators for its agility and maneuverability. The Morane-Soulnier, with its distinctive red and white stripes, is positioned on the grassy airfield, surrounded by a crowd of onlookers who have gathered to witness this thrilling display of human achievement and technological innovation. The sun casts long shadows across the scene, adding a sense of drama and anticipation as Hamel readies himself for the roar of the engine and the exhilarating sensation of flight. This photograph is a testament to the courage and determination of early aviators, who pushed the boundaries of human exploration and opened up new possibilities for travel and transportation. With its rich historical significance and timeless visual appeal, this image is a must-have for any collection focused on aviation history, early 20th century photography, or the history of London and England.
