EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print showcases the remarkable achievement of German war pilot Fritz Hentzen, who soared to become the world champion glider. In this historic snapshot captured on 25 August 1922 at Rhon Wasserkuppe, Hentzen defied gravity by remaining airborne for an astonishing duration of over two hours during a motorless aviation meeting. This monochrome image not only immortalizes Hentzen's extraordinary feat but also highlights his pioneering contribution to flight technology. The photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination in pushing the boundaries of aerial exploration. Central News, renowned for capturing significant moments in history, has masterfully preserved this iconic moment through their lens. The intensity and focus radiating from Hentzen's face reflect his unwavering passion for aviation and his relentless pursuit of excellence. It is no wonder that such an exceptional accomplishment garnered attention worldwide. As evidence of its significance, a staggering offer of 9000 was made for Hentzen's groundbreaking glider machine. This photograph stands as a tribute not only to the pilot himself but also to the spirit of innovation that defined early 20th-century Europe. Through Europeana Photography, viewers can now delve into this mesmerizing visual record and witness firsthand the triumphs achieved by pioneers like Fritz Hentzen in shaping our understanding of flight.
