EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a historic moment in aviation history as Hon. C.S. Rolls (left) and Wilbur Wright (right) share a moment of triumph after the successful completion of a flight at Camp d'Auvours in October 1908. The image, taken on the 8th of that month, marks a pivotal moment in the development of aviation as a viable mode of transportation. Hon. Charles Stewart Rolls, a British automobile and aviation pioneer, had already made a name for himself as a successful businessman and an enthusiastic aviation advocate. He was the first person in the United Kingdom to purchase a Wright Flyer aircraft, making him an integral figure in the early days of aviation in Europe. Wilbur Wright, on the other hand, was one half of the Wright Brothers duo, who are credited with inventing the world's first successful motor-operated airplane. The Wright Brothers had made their first powered flight in 1903, and their innovations had revolutionized the world of transportation. In this photograph, the two men stand next to the Wright Flyer, their faces reflecting a sense of accomplishment and excitement. The image serves as a testament to the groundbreaking collaboration between Rolls and the Wright Brothers, which helped establish aviation as a viable means of transportation and opened the door to a new era of innovation and exploration. This photograph, with the reference number 56005155, is a precious piece of aviation history, offering a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the pioneering spirit that drove the early aviators to push the boundaries of human achievement.
