EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing photograph, taken circa 1911, S.F. Cody, a renowned British aviator and pioneer of military aviation, is seen arriving at Brooklands, the famous racing circuit and aviation centre in Surrey, England. Accompanied by Fred May, the owner of the high-speed motor boat "De Derry III," Cody appears in an unexpected role as a "strike-breaker." At the time, a group of aviators were on strike due to safety concerns and dissatisfaction with the management of the flying school at Brooklands. Cody, who had previously left the flying school due to disagreements with its founder, was brought in to fly in replacement of the striking pilots. Despite the contentious circumstances, Cody is seen in good spirits as he raises a glass to toast the health of the aviators on strike. The image captures a moment of tension and intrigue in the early days of aviation, as the industry struggled to establish safety protocols and labor relations. Cody's reputation as a fearless and innovative aviator preceded him, and his arrival at Brooklands was a significant event in the world of aeronautics. With Fred May's motor boat in the background, the photograph offers a glimpse into the intersection of land and water transportation during this period of rapid technological advancement. This evocative image, with its complex narrative and historical significance, provides a fascinating insight into the early days of aviation and the challenges faced by those who dared to take to the skies.
