EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of determination and achievement as Beryl Markham, a pioneering aviator, checks her Percival P-10 Vega Gull aircraft before embarking on her historic transatlantic flight from Abingdon, UK, on September 4, 1936. With the backdrop of the RAF Abingdon airfield in England, the vintage light aircraft, registration VP-KCC, stands ready for the monumental journey ahead. Markham, an accomplished equestrian and writer, was no stranger to breaking records. Having already set a record for the fastest solo flight from England to Cape Town, South Africa, she was now setting her sights on becoming the first woman to fly the North Atlantic east to west. The Percival P-10 Vega Gull, a versatile and reliable piston-powered aircraft, was the ideal choice for this daring endeavor. The photograph portrays the aircraft's exterior, with its sleek lines and streamlined design, showcasing the advanced technology of the era. The open cockpit, exposed engine, and fixed landing gear are all characteristic features of the Vega Gull, a favorite among private pilots and light aircraft enthusiasts. Markham's transat Atlantic flight lasted an impressive 24 hours and 40 minutes, during which she faced numerous challenges, including extreme weather conditions and fatigue. Her successful landing in Baleine, Nova Scotia, marked a significant milestone in aviation history. This photograph serves as a testament to her courage, skill, and the spirit of adventure that defined the golden age of aviation.
