EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photo print, we see the 33rd President of the United States, Harry S. Truman, taking on his role as Chairman of the Senate Interstate Commerce Subcommittee. The year is 1937 and Truman can be seen on the left side of the image engaged in a serious conversation with two influential figures in commercial aviation at that time. Standing in the center is Mayor Fiorello La Guardia of New York City, known for his strong leadership and dedication to improving transportation systems within his city. On Truman's right stands Captain David L. Behncke, President of the Airline Pilots Association, representing labor unions and advocating for better working conditions for aviators. This meeting captures an important moment in American history when these three men came together to discuss matters related to commercial aviation. Their collaboration aimed to address challenges faced by pilots and improve safety measures within this rapidly growing industry. Truman's involvement as Chairman demonstrates his commitment to public service even before assuming presidential office years later. This photograph serves as a testament to their shared vision for progress and highlights their dedication towards shaping a safer future for air travel. Preserved by The Granger Collection, this image allows us a glimpse into an early chapter of Truman's political career while shedding light on key players who shaped America's aviation landscape during that era.
