EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1912, capturing the remarkable Samuel Franklin Cody during military trials. Born in America, Cody was an ingenious inventor who revolutionized military observation with his groundbreaking invention - the manlifting kite. In addition to his pioneering work with kites, Cody also etched his name in history by achieving a significant milestone in British aviation. On 16 October 1908, he made the first powered flight in Britain using his British Army Aeroplane No. 1 equipped with a powerful 50-hp Antoinette engine. The image portrays Cody as a contemplative figure, standing amidst what appears to be an experimental contraption of early air transport. His portrait exudes determination and innovation as he gazes into the distance, perhaps envisioning new possibilities for aerial exploration. As we delve into this photograph from over a century ago, it serves as a testament to Cody's immense contributions not only to aviation but also to military technology. The monochrome aesthetic adds an element of timelessness and nostalgia to this iconic moment captured by Oxford Science Archive. Samuel Franklin Cody remains forever etched in history as one of America's famous inventors and pioneers of flight during the early years of the 20th century. This print is a treasured reminder of his indelible mark on transportation and our collective imagination.
