Hartley Soule with Fairchild 22, Langley Field, Virginia, USA, April 25, 1932. American aerospace engineer Hartley Soule stands in front of a Fairchild 22 monoplane with a leading edge high lift device installed for flight testing. This was the first of three Fairchild 22s to be used by the NACA at Langley. This Fairchild 22 showed no aircraft number in the NACA shield on the rudder, although as the NACA fleet expanded, the number appearance became a requirement

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken on April 25,1932, we see the renowned American aerospace engineer Hartley Soule standing proudly in front of a Fairchild 22 monoplane at Langley Field, Virginia. This particular aircraft was equipped with a leading edge high lift device for flight testing, showcasing Soule's innovative engineering prowess. As one of three Fairchild 22s used by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) at Langley during that time, this plane stands as a testament to the early days of research and development in American aviation. Interestingly, it lacks an aircraft number in the NACA shield on its rudder - a detail that would later become mandatory as the NACA fleet expanded. Hartley Soule himself exudes confidence and expertise in this image. His contribution to aerospace engineering is immeasurable and his work paved the way for future advancements in flight technology. From his position beside the monoplane, he represents not only an individual but also symbolizes America's dedication to pushing boundaries and exploring new frontiers. This photograph captures a significant moment in history - when dreams took flight amidst countless experiments and trials. It serves as a reminder of our nation's rich heritage in space exploration and technological innovation. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from nearly nine decades ago, we are reminded of how far we have come while honoring those who laid the foundation for our present-day achievements.
