EDITORS COMMENTS
Wizard of Menlo Park," Edison was not only a prolific inventor but also an early pioneer in the field of aviation. In his quest to develop flying machines, he envisioned the need for a practical and efficient landing platform. The image shows the intricately designed platform, which was built on the shores of Morrisville, New Jersey, in 1880. The platform was designed to accommodate various types of flying machines, with adjustable supports that could be raised or lowered to accommodate different aircraft designs. The innovative structure featured a central tower, which served as a control tower and observation deck, allowing observers to monitor the progress of takeoffs and landings. Edison's landing platform was a significant step forward in the development of aviation technology. Although Edison's flying machines did not take flight during his lifetime, his vision and innovations paved the way for future aviation pioneers. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the early history of flight and the pioneering spirit of Thomas Alva Edison."
