EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the thrilling moment of victory at the Schneider Trophy of 1927, held in the stunning setting of Venice, Italy. The Schneider Trophy, also known as the Coupe Aviation Maritime Jacques Schneider, was an annual (later biannual) air race for seaplanes and flying boats, named after its founder, Jacques Schneider. In this image, we see the triumphant moment of British pilot Sidney Webster as he proudly stands next to his Supermarine S.5, the winning seaplane of the competition. The Schneider Trophy was a significant event in the history of aviation, pushing the boundaries of technology and design in the field of seaplanes and flying boats. The 1920s, also known as the Jazz Age or the Roaring Twenties, was a time of innovation and excitement in various fields, including aviation. This photograph is a testament to the spirit of competition and the relentless pursuit of progress that characterized the era. The Schneider Trophy was not only a challenge for the pilots and their aircraft, but also a spectacle for the crowds that gathered to witness history in the making. This photograph, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a valuable piece of history that transports us back to a time of glamour, adventure, and technological marvels.
