EDITORS COMMENTS
Allied Aircraft - Demonstration At Polo Grounds; Col. Charles E. Lee, British Aviator... 1917" is a captivating photograph taken by renowned American photography firm, Harris & Ewing. The image showcases Col. Charles E. Lee, a British aviator, proudly standing next to an Avro training plane designed by A.V. Roe of England at the Polo Grounds in 1917. The First World War was in full swing, and the importance of aviation in warfare was becoming increasingly evident. Col. Lee, dressed in jodhpurs, a fitted shirt, and a leather flying helmet, exudes confidence and authority. He wears a fur-trimmed aviator's jacket, gloves, and a scarf, all essential gear for pilots during that era. His aviator's goggles rest on his chest, ready for action. The Avro biplane, a symbol of British engineering excellence, is the focus of the photograph. The plane's sleek design, with its wings spread wide, conveys a sense of power and agility. The Avro Company, founded by A.V. Roe, was a pioneer in aircraft manufacturing and played a significant role in the development of the Royal Flying Corps during the war. The photograph is a testament to the spirit of international cooperation during the First World War, with the Allied forces coming together to showcase their advanced aviation capabilities. The image is a valuable addition to any collection of historical aviation photographs and a reminder of the pivotal role aviation played in the 20th century. This photograph, part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the people and technology of the 1910s.
