Brooklands Cody Codys Colonel Historica Start
EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the thrilling start of the 10,000 Aviation Race held at Brooklands in 1911. At the helm of his innovative aeroplane, "Cathedral," is Colonel Cody, a pioneering figure in early aviation. With a determined expression and focused gaze, Colonel Cody readies himself for the challenge ahead. The "Cathedral" plane, a two-seater biplane, was one of the most advanced aircraft of its time, boasting a wingspan of 32 feet and an impressive top speed of 70 miles per hour. The 10,000 Aviation Race was a significant event in the annals of aviation history, marking a turning point in the development of air transport. The competition, which attracted pilots from all over Europe, aimed to promote aviation technology and encourage the development of long-distance flight capabilities. As the starting gun fires, Colonel Cody revs up the engine of his "Cathedral" plane, sending a plume of smoke into the air. The other competitors follow suit, and the race is underway. The sight of these early aviators taking to the skies, with the roar of their engines and the flapping of their wings, would have been a truly awe-inspiring moment for the spectators gathered at Brooklands that day. This photograph is a testament to the courage and ingenuity of the early aviators who pushed the boundaries of what was possible in the realm of flight. It serves as a reminder of the rich history of aviation and the pioneering spirit that continues to drive innovation in this field to this day.
