EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of history as Le Febvre, a brave and skilled aviator, takes control of the Wright Model A aircraft at the Reims Aviation Meet in 1909. The Wright Model A, one of the earliest successful fixed-wing aircraft, was a significant milestone in aviation history, marking a turning point in the development of heavier-than-air flight. The Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur, had made their first powered flight in 1903, but it wasn't until 1908 that they began to focus on building a more practical and efficient aircraft for transportation. The Wright Model A, with its three-axis control system and a top speed of 62 mph, was a major improvement over their earlier designs. Le Febvre, a French aviator, was one of the first to purchase a Wright Model A, and this photograph shows him proudly standing next to his new acquisition at the Reims Aviation Meet. The event, held in Reims, France, was a major gathering of aviation enthusiasts and pioneers, and the Wright Model A was a star attraction. The Wright Model A represented a new era in aviation, paving the way for the development of modern aircraft and air travel. This photograph is a testament to the courage and determination of early aviators, who dared to dream of taking to the skies and exploring the world from a bird's eye view.
