EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts the de Havilland DH66 Hercules aircraft, registration number G-EBMY, affectionately named "City of Baghdad," during a refueling stop at Bushire on January 4, 1930. The DH66 Hercules, a versatile and pioneering British transport aircraft, is seen here gracefully touching down on the desert airstrip, its distinctive round fuselage and biplane wings creating an intriguing contrast against the barren landscape. The City of Baghdad, operated by the Royal Air Force (RAF), was a significant part of the RAF's Empire Air Mail Scheme, which aimed to provide a regular airmail service between the United Kingdom and its far-flung colonies. The aircraft's long-range capabilities and reliability made it an ideal choice for such a demanding mission. The date, January 4, 1930, marks an essential moment in aviation history, as the DH66 Hercules was one of the first aircraft to make regular flights over the Middle East, connecting various cities and colonies. The photograph captures the spirit of adventure and innovation that characterized the early days of aviation, as well as the determination to overcome the challenges posed by long-distance travel in the pre-World War II era. Bushire, an important British protectorate in present-day Iran, served as a vital refueling stop for aircraft traveling between the UK and the Middle East. The photograph not only showcases the technical prowess of the DH66 Hercules but also highlights the critical role that such refueling stops played in enabling long-distance air travel during this period. This evocative image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the world seemed a little smaller, and the possibilities of aviation seemed limitless.
