EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic moment when the de Havilland DH-100 Vampire 1, registration LZ551, became the first jet-aircraft to take off from the deck runway of an aircraft-carrier, HMS Ocean. The event took place in 1945, marking a significant milestone in aviation history. At the controls of this groundbreaking aircraft was test-pilot Captain Eric Melrose Winkle Brown, CBE, DSC, AFC, RN. Born on January 21, 1919, Brown was a former Royal Navy officer with an impressive record of achievements in military aviation. The Vampire, a versatile aircraft, served the Royal Navy as a fleet defense fighter, trainer, and even as a prototype for bomber configurations. This image showcases the exterior of the aircraft, with its sleek lines and distinctive features, as it prepares for takeoff against the backdrop of the British sky. The men in the foreground add a sense of scale and human connection to this momentous occasion. This photograph is a testament to the courage and innovation of the pioneering aviators who pushed the boundaries of aviation technology and paved the way for the future of military aviation.
