EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, Sir B. Melvill Jones (left) and Harold Roxbee Cox, two pioneering figures in the field of aviation, are seen in a casual moment during the early days of flight. The image, taken in 1902, captures the excitement and innovation that characterized the dawn of aviation. Sir Melvill Jones (1878-1965), a British Army officer, was a visionary who saw the potential of aircraft for military transport. He was instrumental in the establishment of the Royal Aeronautical Society (Raes) in 1866 and served as its President from 1947 to 1949. Jones's contributions to aviation went beyond advocacy, as he was also a pioneering aviator, setting several altitude records in balloons and airplanes. Harold Roxbee Cox (1895-1997), a fellow British aviation pioneer, was a Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society (FraeS). He was an accomplished engineer and designer, who made significant contributions to the development of aircraft structures and engines. Cox's designs were used in both military and civilian aircraft, and his work laid the foundation for the modern aviation industry. The photograph captures the two men in casual attire, with Jones wearing a military uniform and Cox in a suit and tie. They are standing in front of what appears to be an early aircraft, its wings spread wide, reflecting the optimism and ambition of the era. The image is a testament to the pioneering spirit of the early aviation pioneers and their relentless pursuit of innovation and progress. The photograph is a rare glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of two men who played a significant role in shaping the future of aviation. It is a reminder of the incredible achievements of the past and the endless possibilities that lie ahead in the world of flight.
