EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts the moment when aviation pioneer Beryl Markham's plane came to a halt in a bog on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, in 1936. Markham, born in 1903 in England, had embarked on a historic solo flight from RAF Abingdon, determined to become the first woman to cross the Atlantic Ocean from east to west. After an arduous journey, she finally touched down on Canadian soil, only to find herself and her aircraft stranded in the marshy terrain. Despite the unexpected landing, Markham emerged unscathed from the experience, her spirit undeterred. This image, a testament to Markham's courage and determination, is an important piece of aviation history. The year was 1936, and the end of her groundbreaking flight brought her to the shores of North America, leaving a lasting impact on the world of aviation. #BerylMarkham #FirstSoloAtlanticFlight #CapeBretonIsland #1936 #AviationHistory #HistoricLanding #BerylMarkhamPlane #RAFAbingdon #NovaScotia #Canada #BogLanding #Unhurt #FlyingPioneer #1903 #WomenInAviation #AtlanticOcean #SoloFlight #PioneeringWomen #AviationHeritage #MaryEvansPrintsOnline #AvGeek #AviationPhotography
