EDITORS COMMENTS
In April 1933, the Houston Expedition made history by conducting the first aerial survey of Mount Everest using two Westland PV3 and PV6 aircraft. The intrepid explorers, who were led by Colonel John Noel, took to the skies aboard G-ACAZ, a PV3, and G-ACBR, a PV6, to capture unprecedented views of the world's highest mountain. Soaring above the Himalayas, the team documented the mountain's terrain, glaciers, and surrounding landscape in a way that had never been done before. This groundbreaking aerial survey provided invaluable data for future mountaineering expeditions and helped advance our understanding of Mount Everest's complex geography. The image captures the Westland PV3 and PV6 aircraft, with their distinctive shapes and bold colors, silhouetted against the majestic backdrop of Mount Everest. This photograph is a testament to the courage and innovation of the Houston Expedition and their pioneering use of aviation technology to explore the unknown.
