EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic moment before Hubert Latham's daring attempt to cross the English Channel in the Antoinette IV monoplane. The image, taken in 1909 near Sangatte, France, shows Latham (with cigarette in hand) walking alongside Leon Levavasseur, the designer and engineer of the groundbreaking aircraft. Levavasseur pushes the monoplane along the road, its sleek wings and innovative ailerons a testament to the aeronautical advancements of the time. Latham's goal was to win the Daily Mail's £1,000 prize for the first successful flight across the Channel. The Antoinette IV, powered by a 50 horsepower engine, was a significant improvement over earlier designs, with a lighter weight and more efficient aerodynamics. However, the journey would not be without risk, as the Channel's unpredictable weather and turbulent waters presented formidable challenges. The photograph offers a glimpse into the excitement and anticipation surrounding early aviation, as pioneers like Latham and Levavasseur pushed the boundaries of what was possible in flight. This image is a valuable historical record of a pivotal moment in aviation history, and a testament to the vision and determination of its subjects.
