EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing a historic moment in aviation history, this remarkable print showcases the daring take-off of an autogiro from the deck of an Italian warship. The skilled British pilot, Mr. R. A. C. Brie, expertly maneuvers his aircraft diagonally to avoid the imposing gun turrets and superstructure of the warship below. Taken in March 1935 off the coast of La Spezia, Liguria, Italy, this image immortalizes the first-ever landing and take-off of an autogiro from a moving warship's platform – a feat that pushed boundaries and showcased technological advancements in rotorcraft aviation. The sheer audacity and precision required for such a maneuver is evident as Mr. Brie confidently guides his autogiro onto the deck of the Italian cruiser Fiume amidst choppy waters. This groundbreaking achievement not only demonstrated the versatility and adaptability of these aircraft but also highlighted their potential military applications. Preserved by Daily Mirror's Memory Lane Prints collection, this photograph transports us back to a pivotal moment when aviation history was being rewritten before our very eyes. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and courage while reminding us how far we have come since those early days of flight.
