1. Title: "The Majestic Willows No4 (Admiralty No2) Airship: A Pioneering Marvel of Aviation History" 2.. This image showcases the Willows No4, also known as the Admiralty No2 airship, a groundbreaking achievement in the annals of aviation history. Built in 1911, this non-rigid airship was a significant advancement in the realm of air travel, paving the way for the development of larger and more sophisticated airships. The Willows No4 was designed and constructed by the Willows Gas Works Company, under the leadership of Frederick Handley Page and H.G. Hawker. It was the first airship to be built with a steel frame and the first to be powered by a gasoline engine. Its innovative design allowed it to carry a larger payload and travel further distances than its predecessors. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, capturing the essence of the excitement and wonder that surrounded early aviation. The Willows No4, with its distinctive shape and imposing size, stands as a testament to the ingenuity and determination of its creators. It represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of air transportation, bridging the gap between the early experiments in flight and the modern aircraft we know today. The Willows No4 made its maiden flight on March 17, 1911, and went on to set several aviation records, including the longest duration flight for an airship, which stood for over a decade. This image serves as a reminder of the pioneering spirit that drove the early aviators to push the boundaries of what was thought possible and forever changed the way we travel through the skies.
