September 11, 1936: A New Era of Air Travel Begins - The Inauguration of the Cairo-Baghdad Airline This historic photograph captures the momentous occasion of the first regular airline service between Cairo, Egypt, and Baghdad, Iraq. The Egyptian plane "Good Fortune," operated by EgyptAir, took off from Almaza Airport in Cairo on this day, marking the beginning of a new era in long-distance air travel. Dressed in their finest attire, a group of distinguished gentlemen, likely officials and dignitaries, gather at the airport to bid farewell to the pioneering aircraft. The men, some wearing fez hats and traditional Muslim garb, display a sense of excitement and anticipation as they watch the plane prepare for takeoff. The "Good Fortune," a plane of the 1930s, taxis onto the runway, ready to embark on its smooth journey across the desert. The successful completion of this flight would pave the way for regular airline services between Egypt and Iraq, revolutionizing the way people traveled between the two countries and connecting them more closely than ever before. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the early aviators who made long-distance air travel a reality, bridging the geographical divide and bringing people closer together in a world that was becoming increasingly interconnected. As the "Good Fortune" soars into the sky, leaving a trail of vapor in its wake, the future of air travel looks bright and full of possibilities. This image, taken from the archives of Mary Evans Prints Online, is a valuable reminder of the milestones that have shaped the history of aviation and the enduring allure of the open skies.
