EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Flying Students (July 1928)", we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in the history of aviation education. Two young students from the prestigious Cambridge University Air Squadron stand proudly beside their aeroplane, engrossed in studying a map. The squadron, established in 1925 by the Air Ministry with support from the university authorities, aimed to cultivate national aviation skills and prepare individuals for careers in related professions or airforce commissions. The image exudes an air of determination and ambition as these aspiring aviators immerse themselves in their studies amidst the backdrop of their magnificent aircraft. Their focused expressions reflect both dedication to learning and excitement for what lies ahead on their journey into the skies. Captured by Davies, a skilled photographer from Topical Press Agency/Getty Images, this photograph encapsulates not only a significant milestone for these two students but also symbolizes an era when aviation was rapidly evolving. It serves as a testament to the collaborative efforts between academia and government institutions towards advancing aerial technology. This remarkable piece invites us to ponder upon how far we have come since those early days of flight training at Cambridge University. It reminds us that every great achievement begins with knowledge-seeking minds like those depicted here – forever etching their names into history's pages as pioneers of aviation excellence.
