EDITORS COMMENTS
This collection of original components from the early aviation pioneer, Samuel Cody's, aircraft, presents a fascinating glimpse into the infancy of flight. The Samuel Cody Archive, as showcased in this print from Henry Aldridge & Son Ltd. via Mary Evans Prints Online, includes an assortment of bamboo and other wing stanchions and aircraft spars. These historic items, which date back to the early 20th century, were essential elements in Cody's innovative aircraft designs. Samuel Cody (1867-1913) was a British aviation pioneer who made significant strides in the development of heavier-than-air flight. He is best known for his successful demonstration of controlled powered flight in Britain on September 16, 1908. The largest component in this collection, approximately 126 inches long, underscores the ingenuity and resourcefulness of Cody's engineering. Bamboo, a lightweight and strong material, was a popular choice for early aircraft construction. These components were used in various aircraft models, including the Cody II biplane, which set a new altitude record of 1,500 feet in 1911. The Samuel Cody Archive is a testament to the pioneering spirit and technological advancements that paved the way for modern aviation. These rare and intriguing items offer a unique perspective on the early days of flight and the pioneers who dared to dream and innovate.
