EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of aviation history at Municipal Airport in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA, in 1937. The image features a Douglas DC-3 of Eastern Airlines taxing on the runway, its sleek silver body reflecting the sunlight as it prepares for takeoff. The airport, established in the late 1920s, was an important hub for both private and civilian aviation during the 1930s. The airport's simple yet functional design is evident in the background, with a few hangars and a control tower looming in the distance. A set of wooden steps leads up to the tower, suggesting the human element that once brought this scene to life. The DC-3, a iconic aircraft of the era, revolutionized air travel with its innovative features such as cabin pressurization and constant-speed propellers. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when aviation was a thrilling and pioneering industry. The image is a testament to the rich history of aviation in America and the role that Charlotte, North Carolina, played in shaping it.
