EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of triumph for Jules Vedrines as he steps out of the cockpit of his Morane-Soulnier Type A Monoplane upon its arrival at Madrid's Casa de Campo airfield on May 26, 1911. Vedrines had just won the prestigious Paris-Madrid Air Race, becoming the first long-distance aviation competition to be held between the two European capitals. The Morane-Soulnier Type A Monoplane, a single-seat, single-engine aircraft, was a groundbreaking design for its time, boasting a wingspan of 12.5 meters and a top speed of 75 kilometers per hour. The Paris-Madrid Air Race marked a significant milestone in the history of aviation, demonstrating the growing capabilities of early aircraft and the determination of pioneering aviators like Vedrines. This photograph is a testament to the spirit of adventure and innovation that defined the early days of flight. With the backdrop of Madrid's Casa de Campo airfield and a crowd of onlookers eagerly awaiting the arrival of the winner, Vedrines' triumphant moment is immortalized in this historic image.
