The first issue of Flight appeared on Janu ary 2, 1909 — below we reproduce the cover. It depicts Lond Brabazon, as he was later to become, flying his Voisin at Issy— Anglo - French collabora tion even then. We salute Gabriel Voisin, who is liv ing still, and those other great pioneers who are with us yet—Tom Sop- with, Oswald Short, Igor Sikorsky. Can there have been any other men in the history of the world who have lived through such changes? As this issue ap pears three Americans are due to be circling the Moon. The only thing that hasn't changed is man's courage. From our next issue we are having an editorial front cover, for the first time in many years. The first one (above) depicts the engine of today's great Anglo-French venture, the Concorde—the Rolls-Royce Bristol Olympus 593 on test in a Vulcan. As for our own name, we have, to use the jargon, "up-dated the logo," as we do every decade or two. We shall be bringing out a special Diamond Jubilee Number later in the year. w«ln. femur wC, .*, A Jowwl tfavatod u tfce tatarttit*, Practice, aad Aartal Looaaioftea aetf Traoapart.— at To all our Readers: a Merry Christinas and a Happy lew Year rngsstm®
