EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, American aviator and naval officer Richard Evelyn Byrd (1888-1957) stands beside the wreckage of the Fokker Trimotor aeroplane, named "America," which he had hoped would carry him and his crew across the Atlantic Ocean from the United States to France, winning the coveted Orteig Prize. The year was 1927, an era of technological innovation and public fascination with aviation. Byrd, an experienced pilot and explorer, had embarked on this daring mission to claim the prize, which had been offered by a wealthy Frenchman, Raymond Orteig, to the first aviator to fly solo non-stop between New York and Paris. However, during a practice takeoff, tragedy struck. The plane crashed, severely injuring the co-pilot and slightly injuring Byrd. As the crew worked to repair the damaged aircraft, the news of the accident spread, and the public's attention shifted. Meanwhile, Charles Lindbergh, another American aviator, seized the opportunity and successfully completed the transatlantic flight on May 20, 1927, winning the Orteig Prize and securing his place in history. The Fokker Trimotor, a three-engine transport aircraft, was a technological marvel of the 1920s, representing the pinnacle of aviation technology at the time. Despite the setback, Byrd's attempt to fly the Atlantic marked an important chapter in the history of aviation, demonstrating the courage and determination of the pioneering aviators of the era.
