Alan Cobham Flights Flown Havilland Survey
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the de Havilland DH50J, registration number G-EBFO, as it soars through the sky during Alan Cobham's historic World Survey Flights. Cobham, a renowned British aviator and pioneer of long-distance aviation, undertook an ambitious journey to circumnavigate the globe in this very aircraft between 1928 and 1929. The DH50J, a versatile and sturdy biplane, was an ideal choice for such a daring expedition. Designed by the de Havilland Aircraft Company, this aeroplane was known for its reliability and transport capabilities, making it a popular choice for both civilian and military applications. With a top speed of 110 miles per hour and a range of over 1,000 miles, the DH50J was the perfect machine for Cobham's ambitious endeavor. In this image, we see Cobham's DH50J, adorned with the Union Jack and the insignia of the Royal Aero Club, as it glides effortlessly through the clouds. The aircraft's distinctive shape and sleek lines are accentuated against the backdrop of a clear blue sky, while the sun casts dappled light across the wings. The image exudes a sense of adventure and exploration, capturing the spirit of a bygone era in aviation history. Alan Cobham's World Survey Flights marked a significant milestone in aviation, demonstrating the capabilities of both the de Havilland DH50J and the indomitable human spirit of adventure. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the pioneering achievements of these early aviators and the remarkable machines they flew.
