This print captures a historic moment in aviation history - the Portuguese attempt to fly across the Atlantic Ocean. In 1922, two brave naval airmen, Sacadura Cabral and Gago Coutinho, embarked on an audacious journey from Lisbon to Rio de Janeiro, covering an astounding distance of 5,000 miles. The image showcases Sacadura Cabral himself, exuding determination and courage as he prepares for this groundbreaking expedition. The Portuguese Fairey seaplane stands tall behind him, ready to conquer the vastness of the South Atlantic. Taken on April 13th in 1922 by Central News photographers, this monochrome photograph transports us back to a pivotal moment in early 20th-century exploration. It symbolizes mankind's relentless pursuit of conquering new frontiers and pushing boundaries. Notably significant is that this daring feat marked the first-ever aerial crossing of the South Atlantic. This remarkable achievement paved the way for future advancements in aviation technology and inspired countless aviators around the world. Preserved by TopFoto with Europeana Photography archives, this historical gem serves as a testament to human ambition and resilience. As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded of those who fearlessly ventured into uncharted skies - forever etching their names in aviation lore.
