EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back to the early days of aviation history, specifically to the experimental flying ground at Dagenham in 1909. The Aeronautical Society of Great Britain, which would later become the prestigious Royal Aeronautical Society, owned this site where pioneers of flight gathered to test their innovative creations. Major Baden Fletcher Smyth Baden-Powell (1860-1937), a leading early member and benefactor of the society, is seen proudly standing next to his Quadruplane, one of his groundbreaking inventions. The Quadruplane, a four-engine aircraft, was a significant step forward in aviation technology during this era. Its unique design and advanced engineering showcased Baden-Powell's visionary approach to flight. The image captures the spirit of exploration and the thrill of innovation that characterized the early days of aviation. As we gaze at this photograph, we are reminded of the remarkable individuals who dared to dream and push the boundaries of human achievement.
