EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the majestic Sikorsky S-38 airplane, an amphibious flying boat that soared through the skies in 1928. Operated by American Airlines, this remarkable aircraft boasted two powerful Pratt & Whitney Hornet engines that propelled it to new heights. The image showcases the early days of aviation, where innovation and adventure intertwined. The Sikorsky S-38 stands proudly on a runway, its sleek design reflecting the pioneering spirit of flight. Its wings span wide, ready to take off into the vast expanse of the sky or gracefully glide upon water's surface. This flying boat symbolizes a time when travel was not just about reaching a destination but also about embracing the thrill of exploration. The photograph is a testament to human ingenuity and technological progress during this era. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in our quest for airborne adventures. As we gaze at this snapshot from history, we are transported back to a time when aviation was still in its infancy but held immense promise for future generations. Granger Art on Demand has beautifully preserved this piece of history within their Carousel Collection. Through their lens, they capture not only an airplane but also an emblematic representation of America's passion for flight and discovery.
