EDITORS COMMENTS
This group photograph, taken in 1911 at Windsor Great Park in the United Kingdom, showcases the Aerial-Post Pilot and Staff team, marking a significant moment in aviation history. The men, dressed in their flying gear, are gathered around a collection of tents and aircraft, including an Aerolane biplane. Among the group, we find the esteemed pilots Mr. Gustav Hamel and Mr. Clement Greswell, who were instrumental in the establishment of the world's first airmail service. The Aerial-Post, also known as the Aircraft Transport and Travel Company Limited, was a pioneering venture that aimed to revolutionize postal services by delivering mail via airplanes. This groundbreaking initiative, which commenced operations on August 16, 1911, connected London and Windsor with daily flights. In this image, we witness the camaraderie and spirit of innovation that defined the early days of aviation. The pilots and staff members, who were also drivers, mechanics, and meteorologists, worked tirelessly to ensure the success of this daring endeavor. Their determination and dedication paved the way for the development of modern airmail services and the expansion of aviation as a means of transportation. This photograph is an invaluable document of history, offering a glimpse into the early days of aviation and the pioneering spirit that drove the first Aerial-Post pilots and staff. It serves as a reminder of the incredible advancements that have taken place in the realm of air travel since then.
