EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of aviation. Taken in 1962, it showcases the Paresev 1-A (Paraglider Research Vehicle) alongside a powerful 450-hp Stearman Sport biplane, with their respective crews and pilot posing proudly for the camera. In this group portrait, we see an assembly of remarkable individuals who played crucial roles in pushing the boundaries of flight. On the left, Walter Whiteside confidently sits on his motorcycle, exuding a sense of adventure. Inside the Paresev 1-A is test pilot Milton Thompson, embodying fearlessness and determination as he prepares to take on new heights. Surrounding them are engineers and scientists who dedicated themselves to research and development at NASA's National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Frank Fedor, Richard Klein, Victor Horton, Tom Kelly Jr. , John Orahood, and Gary Layton stand tall beside Fred Harris – proud owner of the Stearman – forming an impressive team that propelled American aviation forward during this era. Set against a desert backdrop that symbolizes vast possibilities waiting to be explored, this photograph encapsulates both innovation and heritage. It serves as a testament to America's pioneering spirit in aerospace technology during the mid-20th century. As we admire this image from Heritage Images' collection without commercial use intentions in mind let us appreciate these men's dedication to their profession while acknowledging their contribution towards shaping air transport as we know it today.
