EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1937, offering a glimpse into the golden age of aviation. The image showcases the majestic Short C-Class flying boat G-AEUC, affectionately known as "Corinna" soaring through the skies with grace and elegance. As one of Imperial Airways' prized aircrafts, this remarkable machine symbolizes an era when air travel was still a novelty. The Short S. 23 "C". Class flying boats were true marvels of engineering, designed by the renowned Short Brothers Ltd. With their distinctive shape and impressive size, these flying boats revolutionized long-distance travel during the interwar period. They were capable of traversing vast distances over water without refueling, making them ideal for transatlantic journeys. In this particular snapshot, we witness G-AEUC in its element - effortlessly gliding through clouds against a backdrop of endless blue sky. The impeccable craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in every aspect of this magnificent aircraft; from its sleek fuselage to its powerful engines that propel it forward with precision. As we admire this photograph from the Royal Air Force Museum's collection, we are transported back to a time when air travel was synonymous with adventure and luxury. It serves as a reminder of how far aviation has come since those early days while also evoking nostalgia for an era filled with wonder and excitement.
