EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the de Havilland DH4A aircraft, registration number G-EAJC, as it soared through the skies during a historic flight on August 25, 1919. Onboard was Lt. E.H. Lawford, a brave pilot who made aviation history by flying the first passenger flight in this very plane. Accompanying him was G.M. Stevenson-Reece of the Evening Standard and a consignment of grouse, newspapers, leather, and Devonshire Cream, marking the beginning of air transport for goods and passengers. The DH4A, a two-engine biplane, was a significant advancement in aviation technology during that era, offering greater speed and reliability compared to its predecessors. This image captures a momentous occasion in the annals of aviation history, as the world embraced the potential of air travel and the de Havilland DH4A paved the way for the commercial aviation industry.
