EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the moment of the R34's triumphant landing at Pulham Military Airfield on 13 July 1919, marking the conclusion of its groundbreaking transatlantic voyage. The R34, a Short Type 184 airship designed for transporting passengers and cargo across the Atlantic, was the first successful airship to make the journey between the United States and the United Kingdom. Air Commodore E.M. Maitland, who oversaw the R34's operation, presented this photograph as a memento of the remarkable achievement. The image shows the R34 touching down gracefully on the airfield, with the early morning sun casting long shadows over the landscape. Major G.H. Scott, AFC, who played a significant role in the voyage, later signed the print, adding an additional layer of personal significance. The R34's transatlantic voyage was a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the early aviators, who pushed the boundaries of what was thought possible in air travel. The successful completion of the journey opened up new possibilities for air transportation and paved the way for further advancements in aviation technology. This photograph is a valuable record of an important moment in aviation history and a testament to the pioneering spirit of those who dared to dream of crossing the Atlantic by air.
