EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the damaged Bleriot 71, a four-engined bomber produced by the renowned French aviation pioneer Louis Bleriot in 1916. The Bleriot 71 was part of a series of similar aircraft that were developed for military use during World War I. During the early stages of its flight test program, an unfortunate incident occurred on May 15, 1918. While attempting to land, the Bleriot 71 hit a ditch, resulting in substantial damage to the aircraft. Despite the setback, usable parts were salvaged from the wreckage, while the remainder was ultimately scrapped. This image offers a glimpse into the history of early aviation, highlighting the risks and challenges faced by pioneering aviators during the development and testing of new aircraft designs. The Bleriot 71, with its innovative engineering and advanced technology, represents an important chapter in the evolution of military aviation transportation during the early 20th century.
