EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, created by Harris & Ewing in 1912, captures a historic moment in aviation history with Senorita Lenore Rivero and aviation pioneer Tony Jannus aboard the Rex Smith airplane. The image showcases Jannus, the first-ever scheduled airline pilot, making a flight over Potomac Park in Washington D.C. with a female passenger. Lenore Rivero, the daughter of the Cuban minister to the USA, dons a securely tied-down skirt and stands behind a man who starts the propeller. Jannus, born in 1889, made several groundbreaking flights with female passengers, demonstrating the safety and feasibility of air travel. Tragically, he died in a crash over the Black Sea during World War I. This photograph is a testament to the early days of aviation in America and the courage of those who dared to take to the skies. The image, part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the excitement and innovation of the 1910s aviation era.
