EDITORS COMMENTS
is an intriguing historical photograph of a Hargrave M.32 aircraft, a significant contribution to the early development of aviation technology. This monochrome print captures the essence of the era, with the plane's sleek design and meticulously detailed engineering on full display. The Hargrave M.32, designed by American aviation pioneer John J. Hargrave, was a single-seat, single-engine biplane that first took to the skies in 1911. With a top speed of 45 miles per hour and a wingspan of 31 feet, it was a formidable machine for its time. The M.32 was notable for its innovative use of a pusher propeller, which was positioned behind the engine and drove the aircraft backwards, creating lift. This particular photograph, numbered as slide 32 in the Hargrave collection, offers a rare glimpse into the past. The plane is shown parked on a grassy field, its wings spread wide and its engine idling. The surrounding landscape is dotted with trees and rolling hills, adding to the sense of tranquility and wonder that must have accompanied the early days of flight. The No.17 Motor 32 print is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of its creator, John J. Hargrave, and the pioneers of aviation who pushed the boundaries of what was possible in the skies. This image is a must-have for any aviation enthusiast or history buff, providing a unique window into a bygone era of transportation and innovation.
