EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the daring exploits of Adolphe Celestin Pegoud, a pioneering French aviator and fighter ace, as he performs a loop in a Bleriot Model XI monoplane during a breathtaking display in 1913. Pegoud, born in 1889, made aviation history on September 21, 1913, when he executed a loop-the-loop maneuver in this very aircraft, believing it to be the world's first successful loop. However, just 12 days earlier, on September 9, Pyotr Nesterov, a Russian army pilot, had already accomplished the same feat. Regardless, Pegoud's daring and risky aviation stunt showcased his exceptional skill and bravery in the early days of aviation. The monoplane, a Bleriot XI, was a single-seat, single-engine aircraft designed by Louis Bleniot. Pegoud's upside-down loop, an inverted 360-degree turn, was a groundbreaking maneuver that pushed the limits of aviation technology and human endurance. The photograph captures the moment of exhilaration and tension as Pegoud defies gravity, leaving spectators in awe of his daring flight. Pegoud's legacy as an aviation pioneer and fighter ace was short-lived, as he tragically lost his life in a flying accident on July 28, 1915. Nevertheless, his daring loop-the-loop maneuver remains a significant milestone in the history of aviation and aerobatics, inspiring generations of pilots and aviation enthusiasts to push the boundaries of what is possible in the sky.
