EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph from 1912, Secretary of War Jacob McGavock Dickinson and General Leonard Wood are seen inspecting the Curtiss airplane during tests for the United States Army. The Curtiss Airplane Company, founded by Glenn Curtiss, was a pioneering aviation company that produced some of the earliest successful aircraft. Jacob McGavock Dickinson, an attorney, politician, and businessman, served as Secretary of War from 1909 to 1911. He is dressed in a suit and bowler hat, exuding an air of authority as he observes the aircraft with great interest. General Leonard Wood, a soldier, physician, and public official, stands next to him, wearing a military uniform and peaked cap. Wood had previously served as Chief of Staff of the United States Army, Military Governor of Cuba, and Governor-General of the Philippines. The Curtiss airplane undergoing tests in the background is a significant symbol of the early aviation era in America. The black and white image, taken by Harris & Ewing, captures the essence of the time, with the men dressed in fashionable clothing of the era and the Curtiss plane representing the future of transportation and military technology. The photograph is a valuable addition to the Heritage Art collection at the Library of Congress, providing a glimpse into the past and the role of key figures in shaping the nation's history.
