EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white portrait captured by Central News in July 1920, we witness the aftermath of a dramatic mishap that occurred during the London aerial derby. The image showcases Mr. Courtney, the unfortunate winner of the race, alongside his wife as they bravely face the camera after their accident. The photograph exudes an air of resilience and strength despite adversity. Both Mr. Courtney and his wife display a remarkable composure, with their expressions revealing a mixture of determination and relief. Their disheveled appearance serves as a poignant reminder of the dangers inherent in early aviation. This monochrome print transports us back to an era when flying was still considered a daring feat, fraught with risks yet filled with excitement. It encapsulates both the triumphs and tribulations experienced by pioneers like Mr. Courtney who dared to conquer the skies. As we delve into this snapshot from history, we are reminded not only of human perseverance but also of love's unwavering support amidst challenges faced together. This image is more than just a record; it is an emblematic testament to courage in times of adversity. Central News has once again immortalized a moment that transcends time through its Europeana photography collection – capturing not only faces but stories within each frame.
