EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph, titled "Flying Machine Inventor Unknown 1877," offers a glimpse into the early days of aviation history. The image captures an experimental flying machine from the late 19th century, a time when human flight was still a dream and not yet a reality. The exterior view of the aircraft reveals its unique design, with a combination of elements borrowed from both airships and airplanes. The use of balloons filled with gas for lift, as seen in the background, suggests that this inventor was exploring the possibilities of both lighter-than-air and heavier-than-air flight. The machine itself appears to have wings, reminiscent of those found on birds, but instead of flapping, they are fixed in place. The inventor, who remains unknown, is shown standing next to the aircraft, likely preparing for a test flight or making final adjustments. The crew, dressed in period attire, are also present, adding to the sense of excitement and anticipation. This drawing, produced by aviation-images.com / Mary Evans Picture Library from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a valuable addition to any aviation history collection. It provides a fascinating look into the past, showcasing the ingenuity and determination of early aviation pioneers as they pushed the boundaries of what was thought possible in flight. The image is a testament to the rich history of aviation and the many unusual and innovative designs that have shaped the industry over the years.
