1. Title: "The Royal Aircraft Factory FE2a No.3, 2864: A Pioneering Pinnacle of Early Aviation This evocative photograph captures the majestic presence of the Royal Aircraft Factory FE2a No.3, registration number 2864. Produced by the Royal Aircraft Factory, a pioneering aeronautical research establishment of the British military, this two-seat biplane was a significant development in the early history of aviation. The FE2a, designed primarily as a military reconnaissance and bomber aircraft, was a substantial improvement over its predecessor, the FE2. With a more powerful engine, the FE2a boasted an increased speed of 95 miles per hour and a maximum altitude of 13,000 feet. Its robust construction and advanced features, including synchronised machine guns for the observer, made it a formidable presence in the skies during World War I. This particular FE2a, identified by its unique registration number 2864, served in the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Naval Air Service. Its distinctive markings and meticulously maintained appearance attest to the pride and dedication of its crew. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the world was being reshaped by the marvels of aeronautical engineering. The FE2a No.3, 2864, with its powerful presence and pioneering spirit, stands as a testament to the ingenuity and determination of those who dared to take to the skies and push the boundaries of human flight. This image, from the esteemed archives of Mary Evans Prints Online, is a valuable addition to any collection of aviation history or military memorabilia. Its historical significance, combined with its captivating visual appeal, makes it a must-have for enthusiasts and scholars alike.
