EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in aviation history. Taken on June 30,1931, in St. Louis, Missouri, it showcases the renowned Doolittle's 400 Racer Plane. Major Jimmy Doolittle had high hopes of breaking the world speed record with this remarkable aircraft. However, fate had other plans for this ambitious endeavor. During a test flight, the wing structure weakened unexpectedly, putting both plane and pilot at risk. In an act of incredible bravery and quick thinking, Doolittle decided to throw the plane into an inside loop before leaping to safety from a staggering height of 200 feet using a parachute. The photograph freezes that heart-stopping moment when Doolittle made his daring escape. It serves as a testament not only to his courage but also to the unpredictable nature of early aviation experimentation. With its vintage charm and historical significance, this image transports us back to an era where pioneers like Major Jimmy Doolittle pushed boundaries and challenged what was thought possible in flight. It reminds us that progress often comes hand-in-hand with risks and setbacks. Preserved by Underwood Archives from Universal Images Group (UIG), this snapshot is more than just a picture; it encapsulates the spirit of adventure and determination that defined aviation during the 1920s and 1930s in America.
