EDITORS COMMENTS
Anthony Jannus, Flights and Tests of Rex Smith Plane Flown By Jannus - Flights of Plane, 1912" is a captivating historical photograph by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing. This image depicts a pivotal moment in early aviation history, with Tony Jannus, an American aviation pioneer, overseeing the hauling of the Rex Smith biplane out of the water. The photograph, taken in the 1910s, captures a group of men working together to extract the biplane from the water using ropes and lifting gear. The plane, which bears the name "Rex Smith" on its side, is a testament to the technological advancements of the era. Jannus, dressed in a simple outfit and wearing a hat, stands near the plane, observing the process with a determined expression. The image is a poignant reminder of the early days of aviation, when aircraft were still a novelty and every flight was a significant achievement. The location of the photograph is not specified, but the presence of ships in the background suggests that it was taken near a body of water. Anthony Jannus, also known as Tony Jannus or Antony Habersack Jannus, was a pioneering figure in American aviation. He is best known for making the first scheduled commercial airline flight on January 1, 1914, between St. Petersburg, Florida, and Tampa, Florida. The success of this flight marked the beginning of the commercial aviation industry in the United States. This photograph, part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, is a valuable historical artifact that offers a glimpse into the past and the remarkable achievements of early aviation pioneers like Anthony Jannus.
