EDITORS COMMENTS
Allied Aircraft - Demonstration at Polo Grounds; Col. Charles E. Lee, British Aviator, 1917" is a historic photograph taken by renowned American photography studio, Harris & Ewing. The image captures a significant moment in aviation history during the First World War, as Col. Charles E. Lee, a British aviator, demonstrates the capabilities of an Avro training plane at the Polo Grounds in New York City. The Avro biplane, designed by A.V. Roe of England, was a vital addition to the Allied forces' arsenal during the war. The Avro company, founded in 1910, was known for its innovative designs and contributions to the aviation industry. The biplane in the photograph showcases the advanced technology and engineering of the time, with its sleek design and prominent airscrew. Col. Lee, a prominent figure in the aviation world, stands confidently next to the aircraft, embodying the spirit of adventure and innovation that characterized the early days of aviation. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the pivotal role that aviation played in the military during the First World War and the critical partnership between the United States and its Allies in advancing the technology. The Harris & Ewing photographic studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze in 1912, was a leading provider of news and editorial photographs, and their collection is now part of the Library of Congress' Prints and Photographs Division. This photograph is a testament to their commitment to documenting history and capturing moments of significance, making it an invaluable resource for historians, researchers, and anyone interested in the history of aviation and the First World War.
