EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph, titled "Army Aviation, College Park - Tests of Curtiss Plane For Army - Single Control, 1912," captures a pivotal moment in the early history of aviation in the United States. The image, created by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, depicts a Curtiss biplane undergoing tests at College Park, Maryland. In the foreground, Lieutenant Thomas DeWitt Milling, the first rated pilot in the history of the United States Air Force, confidently sits in the cockpit, dressed in a flying jacket, leather gloves, and aviator goggles. The Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company, a leading aviation manufacturer at the time, produced this single-control biplane for military use. The test site at College Park, located just outside of Washington D.C., was a significant hub for early aviation innovation and military aviation training. This photograph, part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, offers a fascinating glimpse into the early days of aviation and the pioneering spirit of those who dared to take to the skies.
