EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in aviation history - the London-Manchester Air Race of 1914. The focal point of the image is Mr Jack Alcock, a pioneering aviator, standing proudly next to his Maurice Farman biplane. Dressed in his British pilot attire, complete with cap and coat, Alcock exudes confidence and determination. The race marked an important milestone as it was the first time an all-British aeroplane successfully completed a long-distance race.

In 1919, he piloted the first non-stop transatlantic flight from Newfoundland, Canada to Ireland alongside navigator Arthur Whitten Brown. This groundbreaking journey solidified their place in history as true pioneers of air travel. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this portrait, emphasizing its historical significance. It serves as a reminder of the bravery and ingenuity displayed by early aviators like Sir John Alcock.
