Costes and Bellonte: Conquering the Skies in 1929". This print captures a momentous achievement in aviation history. French aviators Dieudonne Costes and Maurice Bellonte, immortalized as pioneers of flight, shattered records by embarking on an extraordinary journey from Paris to Qiqihar, China. The daring duo covered an astonishing distance of 7,905 kilometers (4,909 miles) over three days - September 27th to 29th - leaving the world awestruck. In this vintage image featured on the front cover of "Le Petit Journal Illustre" we witness their triumphant arrival amidst wintry landscapes.
