EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from May 1930, we are transported back in time to witness a historic moment in aviation history. The image showcases the fearless French crew consisting of Jean Dabry, pilot Jean Mermoz, and Leo Gimie before embarking on their inaugural flight across the vast Atlantic Ocean from Dakar to Brazil. The vertical composition beautifully combines two pictures that capture both the anticipation and the magnificent flying machine they were about to board. On the top half, we see these brave men standing tall with determination etched on their faces as they prepare for an adventure that would test their skills and courage like never before. Below them lies their trusted companion, the Latecoere hydroplane named "Comte de Vaulx". This seaplane exudes power and elegance simultaneously; its sleek design hints at its ability to conquer even the most treacherous waters. It is a symbol of human ingenuity pushing boundaries and defying nature's limits. This extraordinary photograph immortalizes not only a significant milestone in aviation but also pays homage to these pioneers who dared to dream big. Their journey represents mankind's relentless pursuit of exploration and discovery. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by Agence France-Presse (AFP), it serves as a reminder of our collective ambition to push beyond what is known into uncharted territories.
