EDITORS COMMENTS
This cover of The Tatler magazine, dated December 16, 1933, showcases a dashing portrait of Scottish aviator, James Allan "Jim" Mollison (1905-1959). Mollison's record-breaking exploits in the realm of aviation had earned him a place among the heroes of the 1930s. With a confident gaze and donning a pair of stylish goggles, Mollison exudes an aura of daring and adventure. Born in Scotland, Mollison's passion for flying took off when he joined the Royal Flying Corps during World War I. Post-war, he set his sights on breaking aviation records. In 1932, he achieved the remarkable feat of flying solo from England to Australia in just under 12 days. This record-breaking flight brought him international acclaim and cemented his status as a pioneering aviator. Mollison's personal life was equally noteworthy. He was married to the renowned British aviator, Amy Johnson, who also held numerous records for her groundbreaking flights. Their union was a testament to the spirit of adventure and camaraderie that defined the era. This striking cover image, with its vintage charm and evocative imagery, offers a glimpse into the glamour and excitement of the 1930s aviation scene. The portrait of Jim Mollison on the cover of The Tatler serves as a reminder of a bygone era, when record-breaking flights and daring exploits captured the public's imagination and made heroes out of ordinary men and women.
