EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic moment as Harriet Quimby, an American trailblazer and the first woman to earn a pilot's license in the United States, prepares for her groundbreaking flight across the English Channel in April 1912. Dressed in her flying attire, Quimby exudes determination and focus as she checks her equipment, ready to embark on this daring journey. The serene blue sky and the open expanse of the English Channel serve as a striking backdrop to this pivotal moment in aviation history. Harriet Quimby's achievement came just a year after she received her pilot's certificate from the Aero Club of America. Her courage and perseverance paved the way for future generations of female pilots, shattering gender barriers and inspiring countless women to pursue careers in aviation. This photograph, taken at Dover, England, prior to her flight to Hardelot, France, stands as a testament to Quimby's indomitable spirit and her unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of what was thought possible for women. The image evokes the excitement and anticipation of a new era in aviation, as well as the sense of adventure and freedom that comes with taking to the skies.
