EDITORS COMMENTS
Allied Aircraft Demonstration at Polo Grounds: Colonel Charles E. Lee, British Aviator, 1917. This photograph, taken by the renowned Harris & Ewing studio, captures a pivotal moment in the history of aviation during the First World War. The image features Colonel Charles E. Lee, a British aviator, standing proudly next to an Avro biplane at the Polo Grounds in New York City. The aviator wears the standard flying kit of the time, including a leather flying helmet, goggles, and a flying jacket. Colonel Lee's visit to the United States was significant as he played a crucial role in showcasing the capabilities of Allied aircraft to American officials and the public. His demonstrations helped build support for the development of an independent United States Air Force. In August 1919, Senator Harry Stewart New, who is seen in the background of this photograph, introduced legislation proposing the establishment of a separate air force branch. The Avro biplane in the image is a testament to the technological advancements of the era, with its sleek design and impressive capabilities. The photograph stands as a reminder of the early days of aviation and the visionaries who played a crucial role in shaping the future of military air power.
