EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we witness a momentous occasion in aviation history. Samuel Franklin Cody, the renowned pioneer of flight, is seen here alongside his wife Lela Cody as they embark on a flight at Laffans Plain near Aldershot. The year is 1909, and the world is still coming to terms with the marvels of powered flight. However, it was not Mr. Cody who made headlines that day but rather his courageous wife, Mrs. Lela Cody. Just two days prior to this photograph being taken on August 16th, she etched her name into the annals of history by becoming the first woman ever to fly in the United Kingdom. As we gaze upon this image frozen in time, we are transported back to an era when biplanes ruled the skies and aviation was still in its infancy. The determination and bravery exhibited by both Mr. and Mrs. Cody are palpable even through black-and-white film. This photograph serves as a testament to their unwavering spirit and relentless pursuit of progress within the field of aviation during an era defined by innovation and exploration. It reminds us all that sometimes it takes just one person's daring leap for humanity to soar higher than ever before.
