EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Mrs. Cody, the intrepid wife of Samuel Franklin Cody, as she proudly models the latest fashions at Laffins Plain in Aldershot, Hampshire, England in 1909. Mrs. Cody made history as the first woman to take flight in England, soaring high above the picturesque landscape in her husband's biplane. Dressed in an elegant outfit that perfectly balances style and functionality, she dons a stylish bonnet adorned with a ribbon and a pair of fashionable gloves. Her costume, with its loose-fitting top and flowing skirt, allows her the freedom of movement necessary for aviation. The image exudes a sense of excitement and adventure, as Mrs. Cody embodies the spirit of the early aviation era. The backdrop of Laffins Plain, with its open skies and rolling hills, adds to the sense of freedom and possibility. This photograph is a testament to the courage and determination of Mrs. Cody, who broke boundaries and paved the way for future female aviators.
