EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph depicts the Bleriot III, a historic floatplane designed by the pioneering French aviator Louis Blériot, gracefully resting on the shimmering waters of Lac d'Enghien in France in the year 1906. The Bleriot III, serial number 21, was an essential milestone in aviation history as it marked Blériot's successful transition from land-based aircraft to amphibious flying machines. The image showcases the aircraft's distinctive features, including its biplane configuration, open cockpit, and distinctive pontoons that allowed it to take off and land on water. The Bleriot III was powered by a single Le Rhône rotary engine, which produced a modest 35 horsepower, enabling the plane to reach a top speed of approximately 45 miles per hour. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the early days of aviation, capturing the spirit of innovation and adventure that defined the era. The serene setting of Lac d'Enghien, with its picturesque surroundings, adds to the allure of this remarkable moment in history. The Bleriot III, with its sleek design and groundbreaking capabilities, paved the way for the development of modern floatplanes and amphibious aircraft, forever changing the way we travel over water.
