EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, we find Paul Peck, an early American aviator, proudly standing next to a gyrotype plane sponsored by Berliner at Mineola, New York, in 1911. The image, captured by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio, showcases Peck's determination and passion for aviation as he prepared to embark on a new journey in the skies. Paul Peck was an American pioneer in the field of aviation, making significant strides during the early 1910s. The plane he is seen with in this photograph is a gyrotype, a type of autogyro that was popular during the nascent days of aviation. Peck's association with Berliner, a well-known aviation company, further highlights his commitment to the industry. The photograph is a testament to the spirit of innovation and progress that characterized the early 20th century. Paul Peck's story is one of courage, determination, and the relentless pursuit of knowledge and technological advancement. Tragically, Peck's life was cut short when he met his end in a plane crash, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire generations of aviators and aviation enthusiasts. This image, with its rich historical significance, is a valuable addition to any collection or research on the history of aviation in America and beyond. The Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress is a treasure trove of such rare and fascinating photographs that offer a glimpse into the past and the remarkable stories of the people who shaped our world.
