Gertrude Bell's Arrival with her Aeroplane in Mesopotamia (1912) - A Pioneering Woman in Aviation and Exploration This photograph captures the moment of arrival for Gertrude Bell, a renowned British explorer, archaeologist, and political figure, as she steps out of her aeroplane in Mesopotamia, now modern-day Iraq, in 1912. Bell, dressed in a stylish hat and coat, exudes an aura of determination and excitement as she prepares to embark on her next adventure. Bell's interest in aviation began in 1911 when she took her first flying lesson in France. She quickly became enamored with the new technology and the freedom it offered. In 1912, she became the first British woman to obtain a pilot's license. Bell's passion for flying led her to Mesopotamia, where she saw the potential for aviation to revolutionize transportation and exploration in the region. This photograph is a testament to Bell's pioneering spirit and her commitment to pushing the boundaries of what was possible for women in the early 20th century. Bell's adventures in Mesopotamia would go on to play a significant role in her career as a political figure, as she served as a political officer for the British government during the First World War and played a crucial role in the establishment of Iraq as a nation. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the early days of aviation and the remarkable achievements of a woman who defied convention and made history.
