EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1937, showcases the innovative Gerrard P. Herrick HV-2A Verta Le Vertiplane at Boulevard Airport in Philadelphia. The Vertiplane, a remarkable creation of its time, was a precursor to the modern helicopter and fixed-wing aircraft hybrid. Designed and built by Gerrard P. Herrick, an American aeronautical engineer, this Vertiplane combined the vertical takeoff and landing capabilities of a helicopter with the speed and efficiency of a fixed-wing aircraft. The image captures the sleek and futuristic design of the Vertiplane, with its streamlined fuselage and distinctive rotor blades. The airport backdrop adds a sense of history and context, as aviation was undergoing rapid advancements during the late 1930s. The Vertiplane represented a significant step forward in aviation technology, offering the potential for both short-range transportation and reconnaissance missions. Gerrard P. Herrick's Vertiplane was a true engineering marvel, and this photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the innovative spirit and ingenuity of the early aviation industry. The Vertiplane may not have seen widespread commercial use, but its design laid the groundwork for future advancements in rotorcraft technology. This image is a testament to the vision and determination of its creator and the progress of aviation technology during an era of remarkable innovation.
