EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the June Bug, an early aircraft designed and built at the Aerial Experiment Association's (AEA) third aerodrome in Fort Myer, Virginia, in 1908. The AEA was founded by visionaries including Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, a renowned scientist and inventor, and J.A.D. McCurdy, a Canadian aviation pioneer. They were joined by Lt. Thomas Selfridge of the US Army, and F.W. Casey Baldwin. Glenn Curtiss later became a crucial member, serving as the Director of Experiments. The June Bug was a significant milestone in the history of aviation. Its sleek design and innovative features, such as a three-wing configuration and a rear-mounted engine, set it apart from other early aircraft. The AEA team's relentless pursuit of flight knowledge and innovation paved the way for future advancements in aviation technology. The AEA's groundbreaking work took place during a time when the world was on the brink of a new era in transportation. The June Bug and other early aircraft built by the AEA laid the foundation for the development of modern aircraft and the aviation industry as a whole. This photograph is a testament to the pioneering spirit and ingenuity of the AEA team and their unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of human flight.
