Havilland Introduced Qantas 1923
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, the de Havilland DH4, a pioneering biplane aircraft, is introduced to the public by the iconic Australian aviation company, QANTAS (Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services Limited), in 1923. The DH4, designed by the de Havilland Aircraft Company in the United Kingdom, was a significant advancement in aviation technology during that era. The DH4 was a two-seat biplane with a wooden fuselage and fabric-covered wings. It was powered by a 120 horsepower engine, which enabled it to reach impressive speeds of up to 103 miles per hour. This aircraft was also renowned for its maneuverability and stability, making it a popular choice among pilots. The introduction of the DH4 by QANTAS marked an important milestone in the history of aviation in Australia. QANTAS, which was founded in 1920, was one of the world's oldest scheduled passenger airlines. The acquisition of the DH4 added to their fleet, expanding their capabilities and enhancing their reputation as a leading aviation company. The photograph captures the excitement and anticipation surrounding the arrival of the DH4 in Australia. A large crowd has gathered to witness the historic moment as the aircraft taxis along the runway, ready for its maiden flight. The pilots, dressed in their leather helmets and goggles, are seen preparing for takeoff. The backdrop of the Australian landscape, with its vast open spaces and clear blue skies, adds to the sense of adventure and exploration. The de Havilland DH4 introduced by QANTAS in 1923 was more than just an aircraft; it was a symbol of progress and innovation in the early days of aviation. This photograph is a testament to the spirit of adventure and the determination of those who dared to take to the skies, paving the way for the modern aviation industry.
