The dawn of air travel. On 19 August 1919, Aircraft Transport & Travel (AT&T) inaugurated the world's first scheduled international air service. On that day, sister ship G-EAJC arrived at Le Bourget from Hounslow Heath aerodrome, near Heathrow, carrying one passenger, a consignment of leather, several grouse and some jars of Devonshire cream. G-EAJD is ex F2704 and the overpainted serial is still visible on the rudder. Photo from: Bibliothèque nationale de France - Gallica
