EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Lady Hay Drummond-Hay, née Grace Marguerite, in the midst of her historic journey around the world by air in 1930. Born in England in 1895, Lady Drummond-Hay was an intrepid journalist and adventurer who defied conventions and broke boundaries. She became the first woman to circumnavigate the globe via air travel, achieving this remarkable feat aboard a zeppelin. Dressed in a chic yet practical outfit, Lady Drummond-Hay exudes a sense of determination and excitement as she gazes out of the airship's window. The 1930s were a time of great innovation and progress in aviation, and Lady Drummond-Hay's groundbreaking journey embodied the spirit of adventure and exploration that characterized the era. The image of Lady Drummond-Hay aboard the airship is a testament to her courage and resilience. Flying in a zeppelin was no small feat, even for experienced aviators, and the challenges of long-distance air travel in the early 20th century were numerous. Yet, Lady Drummond-Hay persevered, documenting her experiences as a journalist and sharing her stories with the world. This photograph is a reminder of a time when the possibilities of air travel seemed limitless, and when women like Lady Drummond-Hay were pushing the boundaries of what was thought possible for women. Her journey around the world by air remains an inspiring achievement, and this image serves as a lasting testament to her spirit of adventure and her place in aviation history.
