EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the daring spirit of French aviator Jean Mermoz (1901-1936), who became a national hero for his record-breaking flights across the Atlantic Ocean. Born in Bordeaux, Mermoz was a pioneer of long-distance aviation and set numerous records for transatlantic flights during the 1930s. In this image, Mermoz is seen standing confidently before his aircraft, a sleek and modern seaplane, as it rests on the water's surface. The photograph captures the moment of calm before the storm, as Mermoz prepared to embark on another daring journey across the vast and unpredictable Atlantic. Tragically, this particular flight proved to be Mermoz's last. He disappeared on August 19, 1936, during a rescue mission to locate a missing French ship in the South Atlantic. Despite an extensive search effort, Mermoz and his crew were never found. Despite the tragic end to his life, Mermoz's legacy as a pioneering aviator lived on. He was posthumously awarded the Croix de Guerre and the Légion d'honneur, and his name became synonymous with French aviation. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of Mermoz's courage and determination, and the spirit of adventure that drove him to push the boundaries of what was thought possible in the early days of aviation.
