In this photo print, taken on April 3,1937, we witness a moment of sheer exhilaration in the skies above Battery Park and the Financial District of New York City. The legendary aviator, Captain Frank Hawks, proudly showcases his new speed plane as he soars through the clouds with unwavering confidence. This remarkable aerial view captures both the historical significance and the breathtaking beauty of this iconic city. As one of aviation's most celebrated figures, Captain Hawks anticipates shattering numerous speed records with his cutting-edge aircraft. With every twist and turn in the air, he pushes boundaries previously thought unattainable. His audacious spirit embodies an era defined by fearless exploration and relentless pursuit of progress. The absence of people in this photograph allows us to focus solely on the awe-inspiring sight before us - a testament to human ingenuity and determination. Against a backdrop that blends history with modernity, this image transports us back to a time when flight was still considered miraculous. Preserved for posterity by Underwood Archives from Universal Images Group (UIG), this vintage print serves as a reminder that even amidst towering skyscrapers and bustling streets below, there exists boundless freedom above. It is an homage not only to Captain Frank Hawks but also to all those who dared to dream big enough to touch the sky.
