EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Clyde Cessna, an influential figure in American aviation history. Born in 1879, Cessna's passion for aircraft was ignited at the age of 31 when he witnessed a mesmerizing aerial exhibition in his home state of Kansas. Inspired by what he saw, Cessna embarked on a remarkable journey to design, construct, and eventually pilot his own planes. In 1925, alongside two other visionaries, Cessna co-founded the Travel Air Manufacturing Company. This venture would go on to become one of the most prominent aircraft manufacturers in America. With each passing year, Cessna's designs gained international recognition as they shattered numerous speed and distance records. Not content with his achievements thus far, Cessna established the eponymous Cessna Aircraft Company in 1927 during the challenging times of the Great Depression. Undeterred by economic hardships, this company specialized in crafting racing and sports aircraft that captured people's imagination. Clyde Cessna epitomized self-taught brilliance as he honed his skills as an aviator and engineer without any formal training. His contributions to private flying were unparalleled during the early decades of the 20th century. This extraordinary print immortalizes Clyde Cessna's legacy as an aviation pioneer who revolutionized flight through innovation and determination.
