EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in aviation history. Taken on June 22,1921, it showcases the iconic Curtiss JN-4 "Jenny" aircraft with a model wing suspended during flight. The active biplane, registered as NACA 29-38131, demonstrates the remarkable advancements made in aeronautics during the early 20th century. The image exudes an air of industrial prowess and innovation as it highlights the collaboration between the Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company and the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), which later became NASA. This partnership played a crucial role in shaping American aviation technology. The photograph transports us back to an era when air transport was still in its infancy but rapidly gaining momentum. It symbolizes America's commitment to pushing boundaries and exploring new frontiers. The suspended model wing serves as a testament to meticulous research conducted by engineers at NACA, who sought to enhance aircraft performance through aerodynamic studies. Their efforts laid the groundwork for future breakthroughs that would revolutionize flight. While we may not know who specifically captured this extraordinary image or where it was taken, its historical significance remains undeniable. As we gaze upon this snapshot from nearly a century ago, we are reminded of humanity's relentless pursuit of progress and our unwavering fascination with conquering the skies above.
