1. Title: "Canadian Aviation Pioneer, Richard Read Bentley, and His De Havilland Moth This photograph captures the essence of early aviation history, featuring the dashing figure of Canadian aviator, Richard Read Bentley, standing proudly next to his beloved De Havilland Moth biplane. Born on March 18, 1897, in Toronto, Ontario, Bentley was a pioneer in Canadian aviation, pushing the boundaries of flight and inspiring a generation of aviators. The year is 1930, and Bentley's rugged countenance, complete with goggles perched atop his forehead, exudes the spirit of adventure that defined the era of barnstorming and record-breaking flights. The De Havilland Moth, a two-seat, open-cockpit biplane, sits majestically behind him, its sleek lines and elegant design a testament to the engineering prowess of the time. Bentley's aviation career began in 1917 when he joined the Royal Flying Corps during World War I. After the war, he continued to fly for pleasure and eventually became a flight instructor. In the 1920s, he set numerous records for long-distance flights in Canada and the United States. One of his most notable achievements was flying from Toronto to Vancouver in just over 21 hours, a journey that spanned over 2,500 miles. The De Havilland Moth, a versatile aircraft, was first flown in 1930 and quickly gained popularity due to its affordability, ease of handling, and performance. Bentley's Moth, with its distinctive round wings and streamlined fuselage, was the perfect mount for his daring exploits. This photograph is not only a snapshot of a bygone era but also a tribute to the courage and determination of a man who helped shape the history of Canadian aviation. Bentley's legacy continues to inspire aviators and enthusiasts alike, reminding us of the thrill of flight and the indomitable human spirit that drives us to reach new heights.
