EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of early aviation history, featuring a Caspar C.27 Mowe, or Seagull, 2-seat floatplane trainer. One of only two examples built, the exact aircraft depicted in the image is uncertain, with both msn 7004 (registered as D-1023) and msn 7001 (registered as D-1276) being strong candidates. The Caspar C.27 Mowe was a significant development in flight training during the late 1920s, with its distinctive design and versatile capabilities. In this image, the floatplane is shown in its natural habitat, gliding effortlessly over the water. The Caspar C.27 Mowe was delivered to Deutsche Verkehrsfliegerschule GmbH (German Traffic Flying School) in March 1928, making it an essential addition to their training fleet. The other aircraft, msn 7001, was showcased at the 8th Milan exhibition in April 1927 before its delivery to the same school. The Caspar C.27 Mowe represents a pivotal moment in aviation history, as it bridged the gap between biplane and monoplane designs. Its innovative features, such as a streamlined fuselage and a powerful engine, made it a popular choice for flight schools and private pilots alike. This photograph serves as a reminder of the thrill and excitement that surrounded early aviation, as pioneering pilots took to the skies to explore the limitless possibilities of flight.
