EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken on April 10,1929, we witness a significant moment in American aviation history. President Herbert Hoover stands tall as he presents the prestigious Collier Trophy to Joseph Ames, chairman of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA). The Collier Trophy is an esteemed annual award that recognizes outstanding achievements in aviation. Little did anyone know at the time that three years later, President Hoover would sign an executive order aiming to abolish the very organization responsible for bestowing this honor. However, due to Franklin D. Roosevelt's election and subsequent presidency, Hoover's plan was never implemented and NACA remained intact. The image captures not only a ceremonial event but also symbolizes the political landscape of its time. It showcases two influential figures - one from politics and another from science - coming together to celebrate advancements in flight technology. As President Hoover opens his mouth to address the audience gathered around them, it becomes evident that this occasion holds great significance for both men. This photograph serves as a reminder of America's dedication to progress in aeronautics during the early 20th century. It encapsulates an era when scientists like Joseph Ames worked tirelessly alongside politicians like Herbert Hoover to push boundaries and shape the future of aviation.
