EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Bill Rowntree, we see Richard Branson, the renowned business tycoon and founder of Virgin Group, standing on the right alongside his co-pilot Per Lindstrand. Both men are dressed in elegant grey attire as they pose against the backdrop of Southern Japan. The purpose behind their presence in this picturesque location is nothing short of audacious – they are about to embark on a daring journey across 6200 miles to America in a balloon. This particular attempt marks their third endeavor at accomplishing this extraordinary feat. It was taken on December 12th, 1990, during an era when air travel and aviation were rapidly evolving industries. Branson's passion for adventure and innovation shines through as he fearlessly takes to the skies once again. The image encapsulates not only the determination and ambition that have become synonymous with Richard Branson but also highlights his close partnership with Per Lindstrand. Together, these two pioneers push boundaries and challenge conventional norms within both business and aviation. As we delve into this snapshot from the past, we can't help but marvel at the courage it takes to dream big and pursue seemingly impossible goals. This photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and reminds us that even titans like Richard Branson had humble beginnings before soaring to great heights.
