EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic moment captured in March 1909 at the Aerodrome de Pau in France, King Edward VII (1841-1910) inspects the ground-breaking invention of American inventors Wilbur and Orville Wright - the world's first successful powered heavier-than-air aircraft. Known as the Wright Flyer III, this aeroplane, with its wings spanning 12.3 meters (40 feet), was a marvel of engineering and design. Wilbur Wright (1868-1912) is seen explaining the intricacies of the machine's mechanism to the King, who is intrigued by the innovative transportation technology. The "attenuated sea" in the background refers to the muddy terrain of the aerodrome, which was used as an alternative runway due to the lack of a suitable hard surface. The Wright brothers had come to Europe to demonstrate their flying machine to the European aristocracy and military officials, and this meeting with King Edward VII was a significant milestone in their quest to promote aviation as a viable mode of transport. This photograph captures the essence of a pivotal moment in history, as the monarch of the British Empire examines the future of transportation and aviation with the pioneers of flight. The Wright brothers' invention would go on to revolutionize the world, leading to the development of commercial aviation and shaping the course of human history.
