EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the sleek and innovative De Havilland Comet 4, registration number G-APDB, as it gracefully taxis at Zurich Airport on the 10th of June, 1959. The Comet 4, operated by British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC), was a trailblazer in the aviation industry, marking a significant milestone in commercial air travel. The Comet 4 was the first commercially successful jet airliner, and its introduction revolutionized air travel with its jet propulsion technology, allowing for faster and more efficient flights. The Comet 4 was also the first aircraft to feature a pressurized cabin, making long-haul flights more comfortable for passengers. The image captures the essence of the era, with the Comet 4's distinctive lines and modern design contrasting against the backdrop of the airport's mid-century architecture. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history of aviation and the evolution of air travel. This photograph is not only a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the De Havilland Comet 4 and BOAC, but also a reminder of the excitement and wonder that surrounded the early days of jet travel. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to experience the thrill of aviation history as it unfolded.
