EDITORS COMMENTS
This front cover illustration from The Modern Boy magazine, dated 1932, showcases an extraordinary scene of two daring men engaged in a tennis match high above the ground, on the wings of a plane in mid-flight. The audacious duo, with focused expressions and tennis rackets in hand, seem unfazed by the extreme altitude and the wind whipping through their hair. The plane's wings, transformed into a makeshift tennis court, are adorned with a net and tennis balls scattered around, adding to the bizarre yet intriguing setting. Wing walking, a popular stunt during the early aviation era, involved individuals walking on the wings of an aircraft in flight for entertainment purposes. This daring activity required immense courage, balance, and skill, making it an extreme sport even by today's standards. The men in this illustration embody the spirit of adventure and the thrill-seeking nature of the time. The aerial perspective of the image offers a unique and breathtaking view of the tennis match, with the vast blue sky and fluffy clouds serving as the backdrop. The contrast between the serene sky and the dynamic scene on the plane creates a striking visual effect that is both daring and captivating. This illustration is a testament to the spirit of innovation and the desire for adventure that characterized the early 20th century. It serves as a reminder of the extraordinary feats that were once considered possible and the limitless potential of human courage and ingenuity.
