EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the moment of triumph for French aviation pioneer, Louis Bleriot, as he readies himself for takeoff in his groundbreaking Bleriot XI monoplane, on 25 July 1909. The location: Les Baraques, France. With the English Channel stretching out before him, Bleriot was about to make aviation history by becoming the first person to fly an aeroplane across this iconic body of water, separating France from England. The successful completion of this daring feat stunned the world, making headlines in newspapers across the globe. The British authorities, who had long believed that the Channel was an insurmountable barrier for aviation, were left in awe of Bleriot's achievement. This record-breaking flight marked a pivotal moment in the development of civil aviation, demonstrating the potential for air travel between nations and paving the way for a new era of transportation. Louis Bleriot's courage and determination in undertaking this groundbreaking journey have left a lasting legacy in the annals of aviation history. This photograph, taken by an unknown photographer and now held at the Royal Air Force Museum, serves as a testament to the pioneering spirit of the early aviators and their relentless pursuit of innovation and exploration.
