EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic moment as the British R34 airship, a rigid aircraft of the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS), emerges from her hangar during the late stages of World War 1. Built as part of the R33 class, the R34 made its first flight on 14 March 1919, marking the beginning of its groundbreaking journey. As the world watched with bated breath, the R34 became the first aircraft to accomplish an east-west transatlantic crossing, completing the voyage from England to Newfoundland and back between 2-6 July 1919. This remarkable achievement not only showcased the technological prowess of the time but also opened up new possibilities for air travel and exploration. The image presents a fascinating glimpse into the past, with a crowd of onlookers gathered around the hangar, eager to witness this momentous event. The sense of anticipation and excitement is palpable, as the R34 prepares to embark on its historic mission. The photograph serves as a testament to the spirit of innovation and determination that characterized the early days of aviation history. The R34's legacy continues to inspire awe and admiration, as it holds the distinction of being the first aircraft to complete a transatlantic crossing. This evocative image offers a unique window into the past, transporting us back to a time when human achievement knew no bounds, and the possibilities of air travel were limited only by the reach of human imagination.
