Captivating Courage: Mrs. G. Curtiss at the Helm (c1910)
In this remarkable photograph taken around 1910 by Bain News Service, Lena Pearl Neff Curtiss - affectionately known as Mrs. Glenn Curtiss - stands proudly behind the controls of an airplane, her eyes fixed intently on the horizon. A trailblazing figure in aviation history, Mrs. Curtiss was a pioneering aviator and wife to inventor and entrepreneur Glenn Hammond Curtiss.
As one of the first women to take up flying, she embodied courage and determination as she navigated the uncharted skies alongside her husband's innovative aircraft designs. This striking black-and-white image captures not only her remarkable spirit but also the early days of aviation when pioneers like Mrs. Curtiss were pushing boundaries and shaping a new era in flight.
With its timeless appeal, this photograph serves as a testament to the power of women who dared to defy convention and soar into the unknown.
