1862 Cody Franklin Samuel Signed
EDITORS COMMENTS
This signed photograph captures the pioneering aviation pioneer, Samuel Franklin Cody, in 1913, the year of his tragic death at the age of 51. Cody is best known for his groundbreaking achievements in aviation history, particularly for his role in introducing military aviation to the British Army. The image shows Cody in a casual pose, dressed in a suit and holding a hat in one hand, while signing the photograph with a pen in the other. In the background, a biplane is visible, a testament to Cody's innovative work in aircraft design and transport. Samuel Franklin Cody was born in England in 1862 and began his career as a circus performer before turning to aviation. He started experimenting with gliders and balloons in the late 1890s and went on to become the first person to fly a powered aircraft in the UK, in 1908. Cody's designs and innovations in aviation technology were instrumental in the development of military aviation, and he played a key role in establishing the Royal Flying Corps during World War I. Despite his many accomplishments, Cody's life was marked by tragedy. He died in a flying accident in 1913, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire and influence aviation to this day. This signed photograph is a rare and valuable document of a man who helped shape the future of transportation and aviation.
