EDITORS COMMENTS
"This photograph showcases the De Havilland DH66 Hercules, a historic aircraft that first took to the skies in 1926. With a sleek and elegant design, this long-ranged mailplane was also capable of carrying seven passengers. In the 1930s, Imperial Airways became the proud operator of seven of the eleven Hercules aircraft built. The Hercules Class, as it came to be known, represented a significant advancement in aviation technology. Its advanced design and capabilities made it an ideal choice for long-distance flights, enabling Imperial Airways to expand its reach and connect people across great distances. The De Havilland DH66 Hercules is a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the early aviation industry. Its streamlined shape, powerful engines, and advanced design features were far ahead of its time. The aircraft's wings were designed to provide maximum lift and efficiency, while its robust construction ensured safety and reliability. This photograph captures the Hercules in its prime, soaring through the skies with grace and poise. The image is a reminder of the golden age of aviation, a time when flying was a thrilling and exciting adventure. As we look at this photograph, we are transported back in time, to an era when the world seemed a little smaller, and the possibilities seemed endless." Rights Managed from Mary Evans Prints Online.
