EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, aviation pioneer Alan Cobham stands proudly next to his De Havilland DH.50 biplane, against the backdrop of the Indian subcontinent in 1926. Cobham, a British aviator and adventurer, is best known for his groundbreaking long-distance flights that crisscrossed continents during the interwar period. The DH.50, affectionately nicknamed "Moth," was a single-engine, two-seat biplane that first took to the skies in 1922. It was a versatile and popular design, used for both training and sport flying. Cobham's DH.50, registration G-EBDF, bore the distinctive markings of the Royal Air Force (RAF), reflecting its military origins. Cobham's exploits in India began in 1925, when he embarked on a series of record-breaking flights across the subcontinent. He flew from England to India, establishing a new record for the longest non-stop flight from London to Delhi. Cobham's daring feats captured the imagination of the public and helped to promote the potential of aviation for long-distance travel. In this photograph, Cobham wears the leather helmet and goggles of a seasoned aviator, his expression one of determination and focus. The DH.50, with its wings spread wide, seems to defy the vastness of the Indian landscape behind it. The image captures a moment in aviation history, when the possibilities of flight were limited only by the imagination and courage of those who dared to take to the skies. This photograph is a testament to the spirit of adventure and innovation that characterized the early days of aviation. It serves as a reminder of the pioneers like Alan Cobham, who pushed the boundaries of what was thought possible and opened up new horizons for future generations.
