EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic moment when French aviation pioneer, Louis Bleriot, took to the skies above Issy-les-Moulineaux, France in his groundbreaking Bleriot VII monoplane on a crisp November day in 1907. The image showcases Bleriot's focused determination as he confidently climbs into the single-seater aircraft, dressed in a leather flying helmet and goggles. The Bleriot VII, a significant advancement in aviation technology, was the first successful monoplane to achieve sustained, controlled flight, and Bleriot's accomplishment marked a pivotal moment in the development of aviation as a viable means of transport. The plane's sleek design and distinctive wings can be clearly seen in the photograph, along with the wooden landing skids that would allow Bleriot to make a smooth touchdown upon his return. The open cockpit reveals the simple yet ingenious controls, including the rudder bar and wing warping mechanism, which would enable Bleriot to maneuver the aircraft in the air. This photograph is a testament to Bleriot's unwavering courage and vision, and serves as a powerful reminder of the early days of aviation history.
