EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, designer Ray Stits (1914-1999) is seen kneeling next to test pilot Bob Starr (1920-2003) in front of the record-breaking Stits SA-2A Sky Baby, a small experimental aircraft that made history in the aviation world in 1952. The image was captured at the Chino Airport in California, USA, in the year 1957. Ray Stits was an innovative designer and aviation enthusiast who is best known for creating the SA-2A Sky Baby, which was recognized as the world's smallest airplane at the time, with a wingspan of only 12 feet and a length of 13 feet. The SA-2A Sky Baby was also an unusual design, featuring a unique combination of wood and metal construction, and was powered by a 25 horsepower engine. Bob Starr, an experienced test pilot, played a crucial role in the development of the SA-2A Sky Baby. He flew the aircraft extensively, pushing it to its limits and helping to establish its impressive flight capabilities. In 1952, the SA-2A Sky Baby set several world records, including the shortest takeoff distance and the longest continuous flight for an aircraft of its size. This photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of experimental aviation in the late 1950s. The SA-2A Sky Baby was not a commercial aircraft, but rather a labor of love for its creators. The image captures the excitement and sense of achievement that came with pushing the boundaries of what was thought possible in aviation design and engineering. Today, the SA-2A Sky Baby remains an iconic piece of aviation history, and this photograph offers a unique perspective on the people and events that brought it to life. The image is available for rights-managed licensing from Mary Evans Prints Online.
