EDITORS COMMENTS
Cover: RAF Display at Hendon - An Unforgettable Encounter with an Artificial Hurricane (1925) In this image from the "The Sphere" cover, renowned artist Fortunino Matania masterfully captures the essence of the great RAF (Royal Air Force) Display at Hendon in 1925. The photograph showcases a thrilling moment as visitors to the airshow experience the full force of an artificial hurricane, created by the powerful propellers of planes taking off or landing. The image is filled with a sense of excitement and anticipation as people gather around the tarmac, shielding themselves from the gusts of wind generated by the aircraft. Their expressions range from curiosity to awe, as they witness the raw power and might of the machines up close. Matania's use of contrasting colors and dynamic angles effectively conveys the energy and movement of the scene. The planes, with their wings spread wide, create a striking contrast against the blue sky and the green grass below. The swirling clouds of dust and debris add to the sense of chaos and excitement, making for an unforgettable experience for the visitors. The title "Meeting an artificial hurricane - an odd sensation at the great R.A.F. display at Hendon" perfectly encapsulates the unique and exhilarating atmosphere of the event. This image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating look at the early days of aviation and the awe-inspiring experiences it offered to those who dared to dream and explore the skies. This image, created by Fortunino Matania for "The Sphere" cover in 1925, is a testament to the power and allure of aviation and the sense of adventure it inspired in people during this era. It remains an iconic representation of a bygone era and a reminder of the enduring fascination with flight that continues to captivate us today.
