EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Douglas DC-7CF aircraft, registration number N8215H, of Riddles, taxing at Idlewild Airport on July 27, 1962. Idlewild, now known as John F. Kennedy International Airport, has been a significant aviation hub since its opening in 1948. The Douglas DC-7CF, a variant of the DC-7 series, was a popular choice for both civilian and military applications due to its versatility and reliability. The DC-7CF, with its distinctive swept-wing design and powerful engines, exudes an air of elegance and power. Its sleek lines and meticulously maintained finish reflect the pride and dedication of the Riddles team, who were renowned for their expertise in maintaining and operating DC-7 aircraft. The photograph captures a moment in aviation history, as the DC-7CF taxis towards the runway, ready for its next journey. The background hustle and bustle of Idlewild Airport, with other aircraft and ground crew in action, adds to the sense of excitement and anticipation. This image is a testament to the golden age of aviation, a time when air travel was an adventure and the world seemed just a little closer. This photograph, from the Mary Evans Prints Online archive, is a valuable addition to any collection dedicated to aviation history or the Douglas DC-7 series. Its high-quality resolution and intriguing composition make it a must-have for historians, enthusiasts, and anyone with a passion for the history of flight.
