4000 Bird Man Birdmen Clem Daytona Device Florida Glides Metres Opening Parachute Sohn 1935


EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the daring exploits of American aviation pioneer, Clem Sohn, as he leaves the cockpit of his open-cockpit monoplane, the Sohns Device, at an altitude of 4000 meters above Daytona Beach, Florida, in 1935. With a determined look on his face and a parachute strapped to his back, Sohn prepares for an exhilarating freefall experience. As the plane gains altitude, Sohn detaches himself from the transport aircraft, leaving it far behind. The clear blue sky and expansive ocean below offer a breathtaking view of the world from a unique perspective. With the wind rushing past him, Sohn glides through the air, reaching an altitude of 700 meters before deploying his parachute. Sohn's daring stunt was part of a series of experiments aimed at testing the limits of human flight and developing new techniques for parachute jumping. The Sohns Device, a custom-built plane designed specifically for these experiments, was a significant advancement in aviation technology at the time. This photograph is a testament to the courage and ingenuity of Clem Sohn and the early aviators who pushed the boundaries of human flight. It is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the spirit of adventure and the thrill of exploration that continues to inspire us today.
