EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Hon Mrs Victor Bruce, born Mildred Mary Petre (1895-1990), is seen standing proudly next to her Blackburn Bluebird IV, G-ABDS, with the iconic American-built Fokker F-32, NC-333N, providing a striking backdrop. The image was captured at San Francisco Bay Airport on 1 September 1931. Mrs Bruce, an accomplished aviator, made history as the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean from east to west in 1932. Her Blackburn Bluebird IV, a British-designed single-engine biplane, was a testament to her passion and skill in aviation. The sleek and powerful aircraft, with its distinctive blue livery, was a symbol of her determination and achievement. The Fokker F-32, a versatile American-built transport plane, adds an intriguing element to the scene. Its presence underscores the international nature of aviation during this era, as well as the camaraderie and shared sense of adventure that brought together pilots and aviation enthusiasts from around the world. The photograph captures a moment in time when the world of aviation was still new and full of excitement. Hon Mrs Victor Bruce, with her Blackburn Bluebird IV, embodies the spirit of innovation, courage, and determination that defined the early days of flight. The Fokker F-32, with its modern design and American pedigree, serves as a reminder of the ever-evolving nature of aviation technology. Together, they represent a unique intersection of history, achievement, and the boundless possibilities of human ingenuity.
