EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in aviation history - Alan Cobham's De Havilland DH50 landing on the Tigris River in Iraq, 1926. The image showcases the remarkable feat achieved by Sir Alan Cobham during his Australia and Back flight, where he set several long-distance flight records and pioneered in-flight refueling. The monochrome composition adds a sense of nostalgia to this snapshot from the 1920s, emphasizing the pioneering spirit of early aviators. Against the backdrop of the serene Tigris River, Cobham's biplane gracefully touches down on floats, showcasing both its versatility and adaptability for water landings. As an aviator and adventurer hailing from Britain, Sir Alan John Cobham (1894-1973) left an indelible mark on aviation history with his daring accomplishments. This photograph serves as a testament to his courage and determination to push boundaries in air transport. Beyond its historical significance, this image also highlights the beauty of aerial travel as it intersects with natural geography. The propeller-driven aircraft stands out against the tranquil waters of the Tigris River, symbolizing mankind's triumph over nature through technological advancements.
