an early aviator about to crash into Heliopolis House, Cairo?


In the great postcard era, two things the publishers liked to add with the then equivalent of Photoshop were chintzy sunrises and aircraft flying around.

This one, if real, would be about to crash into the building...  See the earlier posts on Heliopolis trams.

I live in Heliopolis & has been collecting photos such as this one, the exact same plane exist on several postcards. It's a "cut & paste" added item so, the plane is fake, combined when coloring the original B&W photo, as you might expected.
