EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic moment of the first de Havilland DH91 Albatross, registration numbers E-2/G-AEVV, taking to the skies for its inaugural flight at Hatfield on 20 May 1937. The de Havilland DH91 Albatross was a two-seat, single-engine monoplane designed and manufactured by de Havilland Aircraft Company in the United Kingdom. This aircraft represented a significant milestone in aviation history, as it was the first de Havilland design to be built entirely of metal. The Albatross was a versatile aircraft, capable of performing various roles, including training, communications, and even light transport. Its sleek design and advanced features, such as retractable landing gear and a fully enclosed cockpit, set it apart from its contemporaries. On the day of its first flight, a large crowd gathered at Hatfield to witness this groundbreaking moment. The air was filled with excitement and anticipation as the Albatross taxied onto the runway, ready to take off. With the roar of its engine, the plane lifted off the ground, soaring into the clear blue sky. The successful first flight marked the beginning of a new era in aviation and further solidified de Havilland's reputation as a pioneering aircraft manufacturer. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and innovation that characterized the golden age of aviation. It serves as a reminder of the thrill and wonder that accompanied the development of new aircraft and the spirit of exploration that drove aviators to push the boundaries of what was possible in flight.
