EDITORS COMMENTS
A Captivating Moment in Aviation History: Girls on the Wing This enchanting photograph, titled 'Girls on the Wing,' transports us back to the golden age of aviation in 1918. The image captures a group of young, daring, and perhaps a touch foolhardy ladies, who have gathered on the top wing of a bi-plane. Their parasols and elegant dresses add an absurd contrast to the ruggedness of the aircraft, creating a fantastical scene that defies the ordinary. The pilot, with a mischievous grin on his face, waves his handkerchief from the cockpit. In an instant, roses cascade from the sky, showering the ladies below. The scene is a delightful blend of historical fact and fantasy, invoking a sense of wonder and excitement. The ladies' fashionable attire, with their high-waisted pants and intricate detailing, is a testament to the era's unique style. Their confident poses exude a sense of freedom and adventure, reflecting the spirit of the Roaring Twenties. The pilot, with his leather flying helmet and goggles, embodies the daring and courage of early aviators. His casual wave, as if to greet the ladies with a bouquet of roses, adds a whimsical touch to the scene. This photograph, from the vast collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into a bygone era of transport and excitement. It reminds us of the captivating allure of flight and the spirit of adventure that continues to inspire us today.
