EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph captures the historic moment of a Caudron G11 biplane taking off from the flight deck of HMS Hermes, around the turn of the 20th century. The image, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to an era of innovation and exploration in aviation. The Caudron G11, a two-seater biplane, was a pioneering aircraft of the early 1900s. Its distinctive design, with its large wings and open cockpit, was a common sight during the Edwardian and Victorian eras. In this photograph, we see the biplane's pilot poised for takeoff, the propeller spinning rapidly as the aircraft gains speed on the flight deck of the HMS Hermes. The HMS Hermes, a British naval airship, was the world's first purpose-built aircraft carrier. Launched in 1900, it was a revolutionary vessel that paved the way for the development of modern aircraft carriers. The image of the Caudron G11 taking off from its deck is a testament to the groundbreaking collaboration between the navy and aviation industries during this period. As we gaze at this photograph, we are reminded of the daring spirit of the early aviators who pushed the boundaries of flight. The image also serves as a reminder of the rich history of aviation and the pivotal role that the UK played in its development. With the backdrop of the vast ocean and the open sky, this photograph is a stunning reminder of the freedom and exhilaration that comes with flight.
