How did the distress call May Day originate?
The distress call "Mayday" originated from the French phrase "m'aider," meaning "help me." It was adopted in the 1920s by Frederick Stanley Mockford, a radio operator at Croydon Airport in London, who sought a standard international distress signal that would be easily understood by English-speaking operators. The term was chosen because it sounded similar to "m'aider" and was easily recognizable over radio transmissions. It is now universally recognized as a call for help in emergency situations.
