EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, created by Harris & Ewing in 1912, showcases 2nd Lt. Harry Graham of the U.S. Army Infantry in his aviator attire at Army Aviation, College Park. The early days of aviation were being explored and tested extensively, and Lieutenant Graham was among those brave pioneers taking flight in Maryland. The image captures the essence of the era, with Graham donning a leather helmet and goggles, a protective casque covering his chest, and a leather flying jacket adorned with insignia. His posture is confident and determined, reflecting the spirit of innovation and adventure that defined this period in American history. The Wright Brothers, Orville and Wilbur, had only recently taken their first powered flight in 1903, and the military was quick to recognize the potential of aviation for both reconnaissance and transportation. The Army Aviation School at College Park, Maryland, was established in 1910, making it the first military aviation training center in the United States. This photograph, part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, offers a fascinating glimpse into the early days of military aviation and the pioneering men and women who dared to take to the skies. The image is a testament to their courage, determination, and the spirit of innovation that continues to drive the aviation industry to this day.
