EDITORS COMMENTS
The World's First Flying Trade Fair Takes Flight at London Airport in 1964". In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the exciting year of 1964 when history was made with the world's first flying trade fair. Housed on four-engined DC-7B aircraft of Global Presentations, Inc. , a company founded by former Pan-Am air pilot Charles A. Carroll, this groundbreaking event took place at London Airport. The inaugural flight featured the sale-plane named Yankee Peddler and was proudly sponsored by the Greater Hartford Chamber of Commerce. Industrialists from Connecticut's vibrant Hartford area showcased their innovative products and services aboard this remarkable airborne exhibition. Supported by the U. S Department of Commerce, this pioneering project aimed to foster international business connections and promote economic growth. As captured in this photograph, Mr. Willis C. Armstrong, Minister for Economic Affairs at the Embassy in London warmly welcomed the aircraft upon its arrival. The image exudes an atmosphere filled with anticipation and excitement as attendees eagerly explore what promises to be a game-changing event for global commerce. This snapshot not only commemorates a significant milestone in aviation but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination to push boundaries beyond conventional trade fairs held on solid ground.
