History in Flight - A Pioneering Moment Captured
EDITORS COMMENTS
On September 23rd, 1911, a momentous occasion took place at the Nassau Boulevard Aerodrome International Aviation Meet in Garden City, Long Island. The first official airmail flight in the United States was underway, and this photograph by Bain News Service captures its significance. At the controls of the Bleriot XI airplane is Earle Lewis Ovington (1879-1936), an accomplished aviator who played a crucial role in establishing air transportation.
Joining Ovington are two esteemed officials: Frank Harris Hitchcock (1867-1935), Postmaster General, and Edward M. Morgan, postmaster of New York. This gathering marks the beginning of a new era in communication, as mail is carried by air for the first time on American soil.
This historic photograph not only commemorates this milestone but also highlights the pioneering spirit of those involved in shaping America's aviation industry during its early years. The image serves as a testament to human innovation and perseverance, reminding us that even small steps can lead to significant advancements.
