EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to May 2nd, 1952, a momentous day in aviation history. Passengers eagerly make their way up the stairway of the BOAC Comet at London Airport, ready to embark on an extraordinary journey - the world's first jet airliner service bound for Johannesburg. Amidst the hustle and bustle of this historic occasion, our attention is drawn to a graceful air hostess standing at the top of the stairs. With her perfectly styled hair and immaculate uniform, she exudes elegance as she waves farewell to those boarding the aircraft. Her stocking seams peeking out from beneath her skirt serve as a reminder of fashion trends from bygone decades. The pilot stands nearby with an air of confidence and pride, fully aware that he is about to be part of something groundbreaking. The scene captures not only a significant milestone in aviation but also reflects the excitement and anticipation felt by all involved. Preserved through time in this stunning photograph, it serves as a testament to human achievement and progress in air travel. This image belongs among Collins Little Gems collection - snapshots that encapsulate important moments throughout history. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry captured by General (not associated with any company), let us appreciate how far we have come since that fateful day when air history was made aboard that iconic BOAC Comet flight.
