EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Avion III, also known as "The Bat" a groundbreaking aircraft designed by the visionary Clement Ader. Taken at the Satory military camp in October 1897, this engraving captures a pivotal moment in aviation history. Clement Ader, often hailed as the father of French aviation, dedicated his life to pushing the boundaries of flight. The Avion III stands as a testament to his engineering genius and experimental spirit. With its sleek design and innovative features, it represents a significant milestone in the evolution of airplanes. In this image, we see the Avion III poised for takeoff amidst an atmosphere charged with anticipation. Its wings spread wide like those of a bat ready to soar through the skies. This photograph transports us back to an era when flying was still considered an audacious dream. As we admire this remarkable piece of engineering marvel, let us not forget that it is more than just metal and wires; it symbolizes human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit of progress. It serves as a reminder that great inventions are born out of daring experimentation. Preserved by CNAM (Conservatoire National des Arts et Metiers) in Paris, this historic photograph allows us to glimpse into the past and pay homage to Clement Ader's pioneering contributions to aerospace technology.
