An Air Drama in Buenos Aires - A Thrilling Tale of Survival
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "An Air Drama in Buenos Aires" captures a heart-stopping moment in aviation history. The artwork by Achille Beltrame depicts a dramatic scene that unfolded high above the skies of Argentina. In this intense aerial spectacle, the American squadron embarking on their journey across the Americas finds themselves at an altitude of 450 meters. Suddenly, disaster strikes as two aircraft collide mid-air - one belonging to the commander himself. The impact sends both planes hurtling towards the ground. Miraculously, the commander and his accompanying lieutenant manage to save themselves by parachuting out just in time. However, tragedy befalls the other pilot as his parachute fails to open, resulting in a fatal fall from above. His unfortunate lieutenant remains trapped inside his burning aircraft and suffers severe burns from gasoline flames. The image vividly portrays the chaos and danger faced by these brave pilots amidst billowing smoke and raging fires. It serves as a testament to their courage and resilience while highlighting the inherent risks associated with early aviation. This historic illustration was originally published on March 13th, 1927, for La Domenica Del Corriere magazine. Its inclusion here allows us to reflect upon this gripping tale of survival against all odds within Argentina's rich aviation heritage.
