Meet Cody, a man of many talents and adventures. Samuel Franklin Cody, to be exact. In 1910, he was captured in a captivating photograph during a rehearsal of the Wild West show. Reminiscent of Buffalo Bill Cody's famous performances, this image showcases the spirit of adventure that ran through his veins. But Cody's pursuits were not limited to the stage alone. He ventured far and wide, even racing with Buffalo Bill himself in Munich, Germany. It was here that he proved his mettle as an adrenaline junkie and left spectators in awe. Not content with earthly endeavors alone, Cody took to the skies on horseback – well, almost. One iconic picture captures him atop one of his man-lifting kites. A true pioneer in aviation history. However daring his exploits may have been, fate had its way with him at times too. The news spread when his beloved kite was recovered after an unexpected mishap – a testament to both resilience and determination. Cody's thirst for exploration knew no bounds; he soared above Britain in his Circuit of Britain biplane like a modern-day Icarus chasing dreams among clouds. Yet amidst all these grand adventures lay moments of stillness and reflection. A vintage poster from 1893 immortalizes Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show – perhaps inspiring young Cody towards greatness. Intriguingly enough, another snapshot reveals him standing before the Wall of Death in 1933 - showcasing yet another facet of this enigmatic figure who embraced life fearlessly. Behind every great adventurer stands someone equally remarkable: Samuel Cody found solace beside his wife throughout their journey together—a partnership built on love and shared experiences. Aldershot witnessed history unfold as Samuel Franklin Cody graced its grounds back in 1911—an event etched forever into memory by those fortunate enough to witness it firsthand.
