EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Douglas DC-8-52 ZK-NZA, a historic aircraft of Air New Zealand, as it gracefully takes off from the runway on 13 February 1965. With its distinctive Douglas DC-8 design, ZK-NZA (msn 45750, line number 217) was a significant addition to the Air New Zealand fleet during the 1960s. The DC-8-52 was a versatile and advanced jet airliner, capable of carrying large passenger loads over long distances. The image captures the raw power and elegance of this aircraft as it ascends into the clear blue sky. The wings, with their distinctive sweep and elegant curves, spread wide, while the engines roar, propelling the plane forward. The tail fin, adorned with the iconic Air New Zealand koru logo, stands proudly against the backdrop of the cloudless horizon. The Douglas DC-8-52 was a game-changer for Air New Zealand, enabling the airline to expand its reach and connect New Zealanders to the world. This photograph is a testament to the rich aviation history of Air New Zealand and the enduring allure of jet travel in the mid-20th century. This photograph is part of The Peter Butt Aviation Collection, a comprehensive archive of aviation history, and is available for licensing through Mary Evans Picture Library.
