EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo from July 1929, we witness the pioneering spirit of pilot Harold Bromley as he poses proudly next to his compact 15-pound radio set in Tacoma, Washington. With determination etched on his face, Bromley is preparing for an audacious attempt to cross the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean from Tacoma all the way to Tokyo. As aviation was still in its infancy during this era, such a daring feat would require not only exceptional piloting skills but also cutting-edge technology. And that's where Bromley's trusty radio comes into play. This remarkable piece of equipment will serve as his lifeline throughout the treacherous journey, enabling him to communicate with ground control and fellow aviators along the way. The photograph captures a moment frozen in time – a testament to human ingenuity and courage amidst adversity. Against a backdrop of clear skies and open airfields, Bromley stands tall as an emblematic figure representing both past triumphs and future possibilities. Decades later, this image serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of aviation technology. Today's pilots rely on advanced communication systems that are light years ahead compared to Bromley's humble radio set. Nevertheless, it is through these early endeavors that progress has been made possible. This vintage print by Underwood Archives offers us a glimpse into history – an ode to those who dared defy limits and pave the way for generations of adventurers yet to come.
