2778264 The Italian driver Colombo made a gesture of great courage at the meeting for the Acrobatics Cup in Paris (colour litho) by Beltrame, Achille (1871-1945); Private Collection; (add.info.: The Italian driver Colombo made a gesture of great courage at the meeting for the Acrobatics Cup in Paris. The device suddenly suffered a cream and would have landed on the spectators, if the aviator had not made, with the engine off, a sudden and very daring behind-front risking his life. The aircraft soon after broke up and ignited on the field, but far from the crowd. And Columbus came out of the wreckage, by a miracle, unharmed.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of incredible bravery and skill displayed by the Italian driver Colombo at the Acrobatics Cup in Paris. The lithograph, created by Achille Beltrame, showcases the heart-stopping incident that unfolded during the event. As fate would have it, Colombo's aircraft suddenly suffered a malfunction that threatened to send it crashing into the spectators below. However, with remarkable courage and quick thinking, he turned off his engine and executed a daring behind-front maneuver to avoid disaster. This audacious move risked his own life but ensured the safety of those watching from below. Shortly after this heroic act, tragedy struck as the aircraft broke apart and caught fire on the field. Fortunately, Colombo miraculously emerged from the wreckage unharmed. His survival can only be described as nothing short of miraculous. Beltrame's illustration for Courier Sunday on June 24th, 1934 perfectly captures this extraordinary moment in history. It serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and resilience in times of crisis. The image not only highlights Colombo's immense courage but also emphasizes how aviation accidents can occur even amidst acrobatic displays. It reminds us of both the risks involved in such feats and our collective fascination with flight. This photograph is part of a private collection and is an invaluable piece showcasing an unforgettable chapter in aviation history captured through Beltrame's artistic lens.
