EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the momentous figure of Samuel Franklin Cody, a British-American aviator and pioneering inventor, standing proudly next to his groundbreaking creation, the War Kite. Taken in the year 1913, this image is a testament to the ingenuity and visionary spirit of Cody, who is considered a key figure in the early history of aviation. Born in the United States in 1867, Cody moved to England in 1892 and began his career as a circus performer. His fascination with flight led him to experiment with various flying machines, eventually leading to the invention of the War Kite. This early type of aeroplane was not only an innovative aircraft but also a communication device, allowing pilots to send and receive messages during flights. The War Kite, which was also known as the Cody Aeroplane, was a significant development in the world of aviation. Its distinctive biplane design, with its large wings and boxy fuselage, was a departure from the heavier-than-air flying machines that were popular at the time. Cody's invention was lightweight, easy to assemble, and could be transported in a single carriage. This photograph, taken during a demonstration of the War Kite, captures Cody's determination and excitement as he stands next to his invention. The image is a powerful reminder of the pioneering spirit that drove early aviators to push the boundaries of what was possible in the realm of flight. Cody's legacy continues to inspire generations of aviation pioneers and innovators, and his contributions to the field of aviation remain an important part of history.
