EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1950s, a time when the skies were ruled by brave men and their magnificent flying machines. Pictured here is a Helicopter from the 66th Air Rescue Squadron, stationed at the United States Air Force Base in Manston. On that memorable day of August 10th, 1954, these skilled helicopter pilots showcased their expertise as they practiced for an upcoming event. The Royal Artillery search light tattoo at Woolwich Stadium was just around the corner, and these pilots were determined to leave spectators in awe with their daring maneuvers. The image captures the sheer power and grace of this Sikorsky S-55 H-19 Chickasaw aircraft as it soars through the sky. As we admire this remarkable piece of history frozen in time, let's take a moment to appreciate not only the incredible technology but also the courage and dedication of those who served in our armed forces. This photograph serves as a reminder of how far aviation has come since then while paying homage to those who paved the way for modern aerial operations. Fred Reed's expert eye behind the lens brings this momentous occasion vividly back to life. With every detail meticulously captured on film, we can almost hear the thundering rotors and feel our hearts race alongside these fearless aviators.
