1. Title: Daring Dive from a Moth Bi-Plane at the De Havilland School of Flying, Hatfield, 1932 2. Caption: This photograph, taken in 1932, showcases an extraordinary scene at the De Havilland School of Flying in Hatfield. The image features a Moth bi-plane, a popular model during the 1930s, being put to an unusual and thrilling use. A fearless diver in a swimming suit and goggles is seen plunging into a pool from the open cockpit of the bi-plane, suspended several feet above the water. The Moth bi-plane, with its distinctive biplane wings, appears to be in mid-air, providing a perfect platform for this daring stunt. The eccentric scene at the De Havilland School of Flying was a testament to the spirit of fun and adventure that characterized the early days of aviation. The Moth bi-plane, known for its versatility and agility, was a favorite among pilots during the 1930s. In this photograph, it is transformed into an unlikely diving board, offering a unique perspective on the thrill of flight and the joy of defying gravity. The photograph, taken in 1932, captures the essence of the 1930s aviation scene, where innovation, excitement, and a touch of the extraordinary went hand in hand. This image is a reminder of the rich history of aviation and the pioneering spirit that continues to inspire us today.
