EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken in June 1933, British aviator Amy Johnson is seen standing proudly next to her husband, Jim Mollison, and their sleek De Havilland Dragon aircraft, G-ACCV, named "Seafarer." The couple, both renowned pilots in their own right, were about to embark on an ambitious attempt to break the world long-distance record. Dressed in aviator hats and leather jackets, Amy and Jim exude a sense of determination and excitement. The De Havilland Dragon, a two-seater biplane, had already gained fame for its impressive performance and long-range capabilities. With its wings spread wide and the runway stretching out behind them, the scene is set for an epic journey. However, this particular attempt on the world record would not be successful. Despite their best efforts, they were unable to surpass the existing record set by their fellow aviators, Charles Lindbergh and Anne Morrow Lindbergh. Nevertheless, their daring endeavor captured the public's imagination and further cemented Amy Johnson's status as a pioneering figure in the world of aviation. The year 1933 marked a pivotal moment in the lives of Amy and Jim, as they continued to push the boundaries of what was possible in the realm of aviation. Their unwavering spirit and passion for flying would inspire generations to come and leave a lasting legacy in the annals of aviation history. This photograph, capturing a moment of anticipation and hope before the attempt on the world record, serves as a poignant reminder of the courage and determination that defined the lives of Amy Johnson and Jim Mollison.
