EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Sir George Edwards (1880-1948) and Sir Freddie Page (1896-1956) are seen standing proudly before a sleek and magnificent biplane. The year is 1913, and the duo, both pioneers in the realm of aviation, are making history as they prepare for a daring flight. Sir George Edwards, a renowned engineer and inventor, is best known for his groundbreaking work on the development of the plywood airframe. His innovative design significantly reduced the weight of aircraft, making them faster and more maneuverable. This advancement was a game-changer in the early days of aviation, paving the way for more advanced aircraft and making flight more accessible to a wider audience. Sir Freddie Page, on the other hand, was an accomplished aviator and record-breaker. He set numerous aviation records during his career, including becoming the first person to fly an airplane non-stop across the English Channel in both directions. His fearless spirit and exceptional flying skills made him a legend in the aviation community. Together, these two visionaries represent the spirit of innovation and adventure that characterized the early days of aviation. In this photograph, they stand before their creation, a testament to their unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of what was possible in the realm of flight. The biplane, with its sleek lines and powerful engine, symbolizes the thrill and excitement of early aviation, as well as the promise of a future filled with new discoveries and adventures in the sky.
