Solution of Aerial Transport Problems in Cities - Aeroplanes That Require No Aerodromes, c1935
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a groundbreaking solution to the aerial transport challenges faced by cities in 1935. Hovering gracefully over the bustling cityscape of New York, America, are Pitcairn auto-giros (autogyros) - futuristic aircraft that revolutionized air travel. The image is taken from "Our Wonderful World". Volume IV, edited by J. A. Hammerton, an esteemed publishing house based in London. The photograph showcases Sir John Alexander Hammerton's visionary concept for urban aviation. These autogyros represent a metaphorical bridge between literature and reality as they embody the dreams of flight depicted within its pages. In this monochrome masterpiece, we witness these innovative planes effortlessly soaring through the skies without requiring traditional aerodromes. Their ability to take off and land vertically eliminates the need for vast runways or dedicated airports within crowded cities. Transportation takes on a whole new meaning as these autogyros navigate their way through towering skyscrapers and congested streets with ease. This image serves as a testament to human ingenuity and progress during the thirties - an era defined by technological advancements. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, it sparks our imagination about what could have been if such aerial transportation had become commonplace across cities worldwide. It reminds us that even in times past, great minds were tirelessly working towards finding solutions
