EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing photograph, we find Lieutenant J.W. Dunne (left) in deep conversation with Commandant Felix, both men standing near a line of planes at an airfield. The year is uncertain, but the image offers a glimpse into the early days of aviation. Lieutenant J.W. Dunne, a British Army officer, was an accomplished inventor and writer, best known for his work on the theory of serial evolution in living organisms and the prediction of aviation accidents. His book "An Experiment with Time," published in 1927, explored the possibility of time travel and precognition. Commandant Felix, on the other hand, was a French military officer who played a significant role in the development of military aviation. He served as the commander of the École Supérieure d'Aviation Militaire (Superior Military Aviation School) in France during the early 1900s. The planes in the background of the photograph are a testament to the rapid advancements in aviation technology during this era. The men's attire and the design of the aircraft suggest that the image was taken around the 1910s, a time when aviation was still in its infancy and the world was captivated by the potential of these flying machines. The conversation between Lieutenant Dunne and Commandant Felix could be about various topics, such as the latest advancements in aviation technology, military strategy, or even Dunne's theories on time and evolution. Regardless of the subject matter, this photograph captures a moment in history when two influential figures came together to discuss the future of transportation and the possibilities of the human spirit. This image, featuring Lieutenant J.W. Dunne and Commandant Felix, is an essential addition to any collection showcasing the history of aviation, military history, or the lives of influential figures in science and technology.
