September 17, 1909: A Pioneering Moment at the Exposition Internationale de l'Aviation et de l'Automobile - The Gnome and Bleriot Stand This evocative photograph captures a significant moment in aviation history at the Exposition Internationale de l'Aviation et de l'Automobile, held in Le Bourget, France, in October, 1909. The image showcases the Gnome et Le Rhone engine stand, with the Bleriot XI monoplane, piloted by Louis Bleriot, proudly displayed. The Bleriot XI, a single-seat, open-cockpit monoplane, was the first successful fixed-wing aircraft to make a cross-Channel flight on July 25, 1909. This achievement marked a turning point in aviation history, demonstrating the potential for powered flight to connect countries and continents. The Gnome engine, a rotary engine manufactured by the Société des Moteurs Gnome, played a crucial role in the success of the Bleriot XI. Its lightweight design and impressive power output made it an ideal choice for early aviation pioneers. At the Exposition Internationale de l'Aviation et de l'Automobile, the Gnome and Bleriot stand was a hub of activity, showcasing the latest advancements in aviation technology. The photograph offers a glimpse into the excitement and innovation that defined the early days of flight. With 25 aircraft on display and over 250,000 visitors attending the exposition, the event solidified the public's fascination with aviation and the potential for air travel. This photograph stands as a testament to the groundbreaking achievements of Louis Bleriot and the Gnome engine, which paved the way for the future of aviation.
