EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the thrilling start of the Cross-Country Race at Hendon Aerial Derby in the 1910s. Held in England, at the Hendon Aerodrome in London, this aerial derby was a significant event in the early history of aviation. The race attracted pilots from all over the world, showcasing the latest advances in aircraft design and engineering. In this image, a sea of biplanes and monoplanes line up on the runway, their pilots poised for takeoff. The excitement is palpable as the countdown begins, and the engines roar to life. Smoke billows from the exhausts, and the propellers spin furiously as the aircraft gain speed. The crowd, gathered at the edge of the field, watches in awe as the planes lift off one by one, leaving a trail of dust and debris in their wake. The Royal Flying Corps, the forerunner of the Royal Air Force, played a prominent role in the Hendon Aerial Derby, with many of its pilots participating in the races. The event provided an opportunity for military personnel to test their skills in competitive flying, and to showcase the capabilities of the latest military aircraft. The Cross-Country Race was just one of many events held during the Hendon Aerial Derby, which also included races for monoplanes, biplanes, and seaplanes. The derby was an important moment in the history of aviation, marking a time when flight was still a new and exciting frontier. This photograph offers a glimpse into that era, capturing the spirit of adventure and innovation that defined the early days of aviation.
