EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of the 1949 Paris Salon Aeronautique held at the prestigious Grand Palais in central Paris. The event, which featured flying demonstrations at Orly Airport, showcases an impressive lineup of aircraft from various French manufacturers. In the foreground, we find a Morane-Saulnier MS.701 and MS.472 Vanneau, both fixed-wing aircraft with sleek designs and distinctive markings. Nearby, a model of the S.N.C.A.S.E. SE-2410 Grognard glides gracefully, while the real SE-3110 helicopter stands tall, its rotors ready for takeoff. The Nord 2100 Norazur and 1101 Noralpha, both Nord aircraft, are positioned further back, their streamlined shapes and elegant curves drawing the eye. The Dassault MD.450-02 Ouragan, a jet fighter, is a striking contrast with its powerful engine and bold colors. The S.N.C.A.S.O. SO-6020 Espadon and SO-95 Corse II, both trainer aircraft, are also present, their open cockpits and initial flush canopies revealing the intricacies of their designs. The SO-M2, another S.N.C.A.S.O. aircraft, is seen with its unique flush cockpit canopy. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the French aviation industry in the late 1940s, a time when aircraft design and technology were advancing at a remarkable pace. The Paris Salon Aeronautique provided a platform for these manufacturers to showcase their latest creations, inspiring awe and wonder in all who attended.
