EDITORS COMMENTS
Anthony Jannus, a pioneering figure in American aviation, is seen in this historic photograph as he conducts flights and tests on the Rex Smith biplane. The image, captured in 1912, showcases Jannus at the helm of the aircraft, with the Rex Smith Biplane prominently displayed in the background. The plane, a two-seater open-cockpit biplane, was powered by a single engine and was known for its innovative use of the Duro Dry Storage Battery for ignition and lighting, a technology provided by the Chicago Battery Company. Jannus, who would later become known as the "Father of the Airline Industry" for his role in establishing the first scheduled airline service in the United States, is seen intently focused on the task at hand, with a determined expression on his face. Martha Kuntze, an assistant or observer, is also present in the photograph, adding an intriguing element to the scene. The image, taken by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, captures the essence of early aviation and the spirit of innovation that defined the 1910s. With the wind in his hair and the engine roaring, Jannus embodies the thrill and excitement of the dawn of aviation in the United States.
