EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print, titled "Mileage and flight times across the world, 1961," is a mesmerizing diagram created by the skilled hand of British cartographer and illustrator, George Horace Davis. The intricately detailed map showcases the vast expanse of the world, meticulously marked with the flight routes and corresponding mileage and flight times of various aircraft from British Overseas Airways and British European Airways. The image transports us back in time to an era of optimistic exploration and adventure in the skies. Davis' meticulous attention to detail is evident in the illustrations of the aeroplanes gracing the map, each labeled with its respective flight number and distance from its origin. The aircraft, ranging from propeller-driven models to early jetliners, are depicted in action, soaring above the continents they connect. The map itself is a work of art, with each continent delicately outlined in bold, contrasting colors. The oceans are a deep blue, and the various countries are represented by their flags. The flight paths crisscross the map, connecting the dots between far-flung destinations, creating a web of global connectivity. This print is a testament to the ingenuity and ambition of the aviation industry in the early 1960s, a time when the world seemed smaller and more accessible than ever before. Davis' "Mileage and flight times across the world, 1961" is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the history of air travel and the world as it was once known.
