1. Title: "Gloucestershire Mars 1 Bamel G-Eaxz: Holder of the Speed Record, 1921" 2. Description: This photograph captures the sleek and majestic form of the Gloucestershire Mars 1 Bamel G-Eaxz, an iconic aircraft that once held the prestigious title of the fastest plane in the world. Parked proudly in a hangar, the plane's powerful engine and streamlined design are on full display. 3. Background: The Gloucestershire Mars 1 Bamel G-Eaxz was a British single-seat biplane racing aircraft, designed and built by the Gloucestershire Aircraft Company in 1921. Powered by a Rolls-Royce Falcon engine, this aeroplane was a marvel of engineering and innovation in the early days of aviation. 4. Record-Breaking Performance: In August 1921, the Gloucestershire Mars 1 Bamel G-Eaxz, piloted by Captain H.P. "Harry" Hawker, set a new world speed record of 173.3 miles per hour (279.1 kilometers per hour) at the Orly Aerodrome in Paris, France. This remarkable achievement cemented the plane's place in aviation history. 5. Design and Features: The Mars 1 Bamel G-Eaxz was characterized by its low-wing monocoque fuselage, which provided exceptional strength and rigidity. Its narrow wings were equipped with ailerons for lateral control, while the tail featured a cantilevered tailplane and a large rudder. The plane's distinctive cowling, which enclosed the engine, was designed to reduce drag and improve aerodynamics. 6. Legacy: The Gloucestershire Mars 1 Bamel G-Eaxz marked a significant milestone in the development of high-speed aircraft and paved the way for future advancements in aviation technology. This photograph serves as a testament to the ingenuity and passion of the pioneers who pushed the boundaries of flight. 7.
