EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the sleek Monocoupe 90AF NC18193 (msn 816) at Roosevelt Field on Long Island, New York, around 1939. The Monocoupe 90AF was a single-engine, two-seat cabin monoplane, designed and manufactured by Monocoupe Aircraft Corporation. Known for its distinctive rounded canopy and streamlined design, the Monocoupe 90AF was a popular choice among private pilots during the late 1930s. The image showcases the aircraft's elegant lines and meticulously maintained finish, with the pilot's winged helmet and goggles resting on the wing, hinting at the thrill and adventure of flight. The backdrop of Roosevelt Field, an important aviation hub during this era, adds to the sense of history and nostalgia. Roosevelt Field, located in Garden City, Long Island, was a significant aviation center during the interwar period. It was the site of the first transatlantic flight by Charles Lindbergh in 1927 and later served as a major training base for the US Army Air Corps during World War II. The presence of the Monocoupe 90AF at Roosevelt Field underscores the importance of general aviation and the spirit of aviation innovation during this time. This photograph is a testament to the allure and romance of early aviation, offering a glimpse into the past and the excitement of the era when the skies were just beginning to be explored by intrepid pilots.
