EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the annals of aviation history, we find Jacques Noel at the helm of the man-powered aviette of Legay, competing for the prestigious Prix Peugeot at Longchamps, Paris, in 1920. The aviette, a remarkable precursor to modern aircraft, is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of early aviators. The aviette, with its sleek design and twin propellers, required immense physical effort from its pilot. Jacques Noel can be seen pedaling furiously, his concentration unwavering as he strives to turn those propellers and lift his birdlike creation off the ground. The image captures the raw energy and excitement of the race, as well as the sense of danger and uncertainty that came with early aviation. The Prix Peugeot was a significant event in the world of aviation, attracting pilots and their innovative designs from around the globe. The competition, held at the famed Longchamps racecourse in Paris, challenged aviators to push the boundaries of what was possible with man-powered flight. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, when the skies were still a frontier waiting to be explored. The aviette of Legay and its intrepid pilot, Jacques Noel, represent the early days of human flight and the spirit of innovation that continues to drive the aviation industry to this day. As we look at this image, we are transported back in time, to an era when the impossible seemed possible, and the future of flight was still uncertain. The aviette of Legay and its daring pilot serve as a reminder of the courage and determination that has always been at the heart of human progress.
