EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Financier Bowen is seen standing proudly in front of his Lambert Monocoupe 145, NC501W, affectionately named "Baby Ruth," with his two skilled pilots, J.H. Wright and J. Polando, prior to their participation in the MacRobertson England to Australia Air Race of October 1934. The MacRobertson Race, also known as the London-Melbourne Air Race, was a historic event that attracted aviators from around the world, aiming to set new records in long-distance air travel. Bowen, a successful financier, had a passion for aviation and had assembled an exceptional team for this daring endeavor. The Lambert Monocoupe 145 was a sleek and advanced aircraft, designed by the renowned American aviation engineer, J.L. Lambert. With its streamlined shape and powerful engine, it was a formidable contender in the race. Wright and Polando, both experienced pilots, were an ideal choice for this challenging mission. Their focused expressions and determined gazes speak volumes about their readiness for the grueling journey ahead. The trio's unwavering commitment to excellence and their shared love for aviation made them a formidable team in the world of air travel. As they prepare for the start of the race, the excitement in their eyes is palpable. The photograph captures a moment of anticipation and camaraderie, as they stand together, ready to embark on an adventure that would test their skills, courage, and determination. This image is a testament to the spirit of adventure, innovation, and teamwork that defined the golden age of aviation.
