First Steps for the Future Pilot
An ingenious device for teaching beginners the rudiments of controlling an aeroplane in 1931. The little machine which flies in a strong draught of air ejected from the cylinder on the left, is connected by a rod to the table and by a universal joint to the rod. Every movement of the hands on the joystick and the feet on the rudder bar is registered on the machine exactly as it would be during an actual flight. The pupil here is Dorothy Jordan, the well-known Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film actress

First Steps for the Future Pilot: An Innovative Aviation Training Device from the 1930s This photograph showcases Dorothy Jordan, a renowned Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film actress, as she takes her first steps towards becoming a pilot using the "First Steps for the Future Pilot" device. Dating back to 1931, this ingenious invention was designed to teach beginners the fundamentals of controlling an aeroplane through a unique combination of simulation and hands-on experience. The device consists of a miniature aircraft suspended in a strong draft of air generated by the cylinder on the left. Connected to the table by a rod and to the rod by a universal joint, every movement of the learner's hands on the joystick and feet on the rudder bar is precisely replicated in the machine, providing an authentic flying experience. The 1930s, an era of innovation and progress, saw the aviation industry flourish. This device, a precursor to modern flight simulators, offered a safe and effective way for aspiring pilots to learn the essential skills required for actual flight. Dorothy Jordan, with her helmet on and focused expression, embodies the spirit of adventure and determination that characterized the early days of aviation. As we marvel at the technological advancements of today's aviation industry, it's fascinating to look back at the origins of flight training and appreciate the ingenuity of the devices that paved the way for future pilots. This photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history of aviation and the pioneering spirit that continues to drive the industry forward.
