EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a historic moment in aviation history as Major Baden Fletcher Smyth Baden-Powell (1860-1937) shares a triumphant moment with aviation pioneer Wilbur Wright (1868-1912) following the successful completion of the first powered flight at Camp d'Auvours, near Le Mans, France, on October 8, 1908. Major Baden-Powell, a British Army officer and later a prominent figure in the Scouting movement, was an early aviation enthusiast and had traveled to Europe to witness the Wright Brothers' groundbreaking flights. In this image, the excitement and awe of the moment are palpable as Major Baden-Powell looks on in admiration as Wilbur Wright proudly stands beside his Wright Flyer III aircraft, which had just covered a distance of approximately 22 miles (35 kilometers) in just under an hour. The Wright Brothers' achievement marked a turning point in the development of aviation technology and opened the door to a new era of transportation and exploration. This photograph, taken in 1937, serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of these pioneering innovators and their groundbreaking accomplishment.
