EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Folland Fo139 Midge, specifically the G-39-1 variant, in its prime. The Midge, a versatile and agile aircraft, was designed and built by Folland Aircraft Limited in the late 1940s. The Midge was initially conceived as a trainer and sports aircraft, but its capabilities quickly expanded to include roles as a light transport and even a glider tug. The image captures the Midge in mid-air, with its distinctive wing design and elegant lines on full display. The aircraft's open cockpit allows for an unobstructed view of the pilot, who appears focused and in control. The Midge's propeller churns up a rooster tail of water behind the plane, adding a dynamic element to the photograph. The Midge was powered by a de Havilland Gipsy Major engine, which gave it a top speed of around 120 mph. Its lightweight construction and efficient design made it a popular choice among aviation enthusiasts and private pilots. The Midge's versatility and affordability also made it a favorite among flying clubs and schools. This photograph is a testament to the Midge's enduring appeal and its place in aviation history. Its timeless design and impressive capabilities continue to inspire and captivate aviation enthusiasts to this day.
