EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Aviation, Navy - Commodore J.C. Gillmore In Curtiss Headless Plane, Dual Control... 1912," showcases Commodore John C. Gillmore of the United States Navy, as he confidently takes the helm of a Curtiss Headless Plane with dual controls. The image was captured at College Park Army Flying Field, with Lieutenant Milling standing by his side. The year was 1912, and the world of aviation was still in its infancy. Commodore Gillmore wears a leather flying jacket, goggles, and gloves, all essential items for pilots during this era. His fashionable dress coat and trousers, along with his polished boots, add a touch of elegance to his aviator attire. The Curtiss Model D biplane, also known as the "Headless Pusher," is a testament to the ingenuity of early aviation technology. Its unique design, with the engine mounted behind the pilot, allowed for better visibility and control. This photograph, created by Harris & Ewing, is a valuable piece of history that transports us back to a time when the world was being redefined by the possibilities of flight. The image is part of the Harris & Ewing Collection, housed at the Library of Congress, and is a testament to the pioneering spirit of the early aviators who dared to take to the skies. The Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company played a significant role in the development of military aviation during this period, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the company's rich history. As we admire the courage and determination of Commodore Gillmore and his contemporaries, we are reminded of the incredible advancements that have taken place in the realm of aviation over the past century.
