EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the General Aircraft GAL.56 - 03 TS513, also famously known as the "Maximum-V," at the 1947 Radlett SBAC (Society of British Aircraft Constructors) show held on the 12th and 13th of September 1947. The Maximum-V version of the GAL.56 was a groundbreaking development in aviation technology, featuring a constant 40-degree wing sweep-back at the leading edge and 36.4 degrees at quarter chord. The wingspan remained the same as the initial GAL.56 - 01 model. The first flight of this innovative aircraft took place on May 30, 1946. The Maximum-V was a significant departure from traditional aircraft design, with its advanced swept-wing configuration intended to reduce drag and improve overall performance at high speeds. This photograph captures the essence of the era, with the Maximum-V proudly displayed against the backdrop of the Radlett airfield, embodying the spirit of innovation and progress that characterized post-war aviation.
