EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the daring spirit of French World War I flying aces Charles Nungesser and François Coli, as they prepared for their historic attempt to fly non-stop across the Atlantic Ocean in the Oiseau Blanc (White Bird) biplane. Taken in 1927, the image shows Nungesser, with his intense gaze and clenched jaw, and Coli, seated in the cockpit, both wearing their leather flying helmets and goggles. The plane, named after the French explorer Samuel de Champlain's nickname for the St. Lawrence River, was a modified Levasseur PL.8 transport aircraft. The audacious duo aimed to become the first aviators to fly non-stop from New York to Paris, a feat that had eluded pilots for years. However, their ambition came at great risk, as the transatlantic crossing was fraught with danger, including treacherous weather conditions, limited fuel supplies, and the vast expanse of the Atlantic. On May 8, 1927, Nungesser and Coli took off from Roosevelt Field in Long Island, New York, with the hope of reaching Paris in just under 40 hours. But their fate remains a mystery. Their plane was last sighted over the Azores, and despite extensive search efforts, no trace of the Oiseau Blanc or its crew was ever found. Some believe they may have crashed into the Atlantic, while others speculate they may have landed in Maine. This intriguing historical photograph serves as a poignant reminder of their daring endeavor and the risks they took in pursuit of aviation history.
