EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from February 1933, James Allan Mollison's de Havilland Puss Moth aeroplane undergoes meticulous overhauling at Hendon, England. The Puss Moth, a two-seat, open-cockpit biplane, gained popularity during the 1930s for its versatility and reliability. This particular aircraft holds historical significance as it was the mount of renowned British aviator Amy Johnson, who became the first woman to fly solo from England to Australia in 1930. Mollison, an engineer, is seen diligently working on the aircraft's engine, ensuring that every component is in pristine condition. The Puss Moth's distinctive red and silver livery gleams under the workshop lights, a testament to the dedication and craftsmanship that went into its construction. The 1930s were an era of innovation and exploration in aviation, with pioneering pilots and engineers pushing the boundaries of what was possible in the skies. The Puss Moth, with its sleek design and powerful engine, was at the forefront of this movement, enabling intrepid adventurers like Amy Johnson to embark on record-breaking flights. As Mollison continues his painstaking work, the Puss Moth stands ready for its next journey, a reminder of the rich history of flight and the passion that drives those who dare to take to the skies. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the dedication and skill required to keep these historic aircraft in the air.
