EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic 1930 transatlantic crew, led by the legendary aviator Captain Charles Kingsford Smith, moments before embarking on their groundbreaking journey across the Atlantic Ocean. The intrepid explorers, including pilots Captain Evert van Dijk and Captain Paddy Saul, as well as wireless operator John Stannage, are seen standing in front of their magnificent aircraft, the Southern Cross. Dressed in their flying gear and holding their essential navigation tools, they exude a sense of determination and excitement. The Southern Cross, a Fokker Trimotor monoplane, was a state-of-the-art aircraft for its time, and its sleek design and powerful engines symbolized the spirit of innovation and adventure that drove these pioneering aviators. The successful completion of their transatlantic flight would make headlines around the world and cement their place in aviation history. This photograph is a testament to the courage, skill, and determination of these early aviators, who pushed the boundaries of what was thought possible in the realm of air travel.
