EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the aerial view of London Airport in 1925. It captures a significant moment in history, as it was London's first airport which opened its doors to the public in 1920. The airport came into existence by merging two World War I airfields, Waddon Aerodrome and Beddington Aerodrome. The image provides a mesmerizing birds-eye view of the airfield, with several biplanes scattered across the tarmac. These aircraft were at the forefront of aviation technology during that era. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this historical snapshot. Located in Croydon, England, this airport played an essential role in shaping British aviation and transportation during the early 20th century. Although it is not mentioned whether this specific location evolved into Heathrow Airport later on, one can't help but draw connections between these two iconic airports. As we gaze upon this photograph from Heritage Images' Historica Graphica Collection, we are transported back to a time when air travel was still relatively new and exciting. This image serves as a reminder of how far we have come since then while also paying homage to our rich aviation heritage.
