EDITORS COMMENTS
In this monochrome print, we are transported back to the 1920s, a time of great aviation feats and daring pilots. The focal point of the image is Captain Rene Fonck, an esteemed French Airforce Ace known for his exceptional skills in the skies. However, tragedy struck on that fateful day - September 14th, 1926 - as he attempted to fly from New York to Paris. As we gaze upon Fonck's portrait, his steely determination and courage are evident. Adorned with numerous medals proudly displayed on his uniform, he embodies the epitome of a decorated war hero. His piercing eyes seem to reflect both ambition and a hint of trepidation before embarking on this perilous journey. The Sikorsky plane behind him serves as a stark reminder of the dangers lurking in such ambitious endeavors. Sadly, fate had other plans for Fonck as his overloaded aircraft crashed during takeoff, abruptly ending his life before he could complete this historic transatlantic flight. This photograph by Alfieri captures not only an iconic figure but also encapsulates the spirit of adventure and risk-taking that defined early aviation pioneers like Fonck. It stands as a poignant tribute to those who dared defy gravity's limits in pursuit of their dreams while reminding us all about the fragility inherent in our quest for triumph over nature's forces.
