EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the Festival of Empire Exhibition held at Crystal Palace in South London during the year 1911, the Maxim Flying Machine is shown in operation, providing an exhilarating ride for a group of delighted spectators. The Crystal Palace, an iconic landmark in British history, played host to this grand exhibition that celebrated the achievements of the British Empire. The Maxim Flying Machine, a non-combatant aircraft designed by Sir Hiram Maxim, was a major attraction at the festival. This innovative contraption, which looked more like a giant metal insect than an aircraft, offered visitors the unique experience of soaring through the air, albeit just a few feet above the ground. The machine, propelled by two large propellers, could carry up to six passengers at a time, and reached speeds of around 40 miles per hour. As the machine takes off in this photograph, the faces of the passengers are filled with excitement and anticipation. The people in the crowd, dressed in their finest attire, watch with a mix of awe and curiosity as the Flying Machine ascends. The atmosphere is festive, with laughter and cheers echoing through the air. The Maxim Flying Machine represented the spirit of innovation and adventure that characterized the early 20th century, and its presence at the Festival of Empire Exhibition served as a testament to the technological advancements of the era. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into a time when leisure activities were a novelty and the thrill of flying was an unforgettable experience. The Maxim Flying Machine, with its unusual design and daring rides, was a symbol of fun and excitement that captured the imagination of the people of the time.
