EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of triumph for French aviation pioneer, Henri Mignet, as he proudly stands next to his groundbreaking creation, the Pou du Ciel, also known as the Flying Flea. The year was 1935, and the world of aviation was on the brink of a new era. Mignet, a self-taught designer, had achieved the seemingly impossible by constructing an ultra-lightweight aircraft that could be easily assembled and disassembled by a single person. Weighing just 127 kilograms (280 pounds), the Flying Flea was a game-changer in the realm of personal aviation. The Flying Flea, with its distinctive open-cockpit design and wings that could be folded for transport, was a testament to Mignet's innovative spirit and engineering prowess. The aircraft's success was not only due to its lightweight construction but also its affordability, making it an accessible option for those with a passion for flight. The Flying Flea's impact on the aviation world was significant, inspiring countless individuals to take to the skies and experience the thrill of flight for themselves. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era in aviation history, a time when the spirit of innovation and the pursuit of personal freedom were at the forefront of technological advancements. Henri Mignet's Flying Flea remains an enduring symbol of the ingenuity and determination of its creator, and a testament to the power of human imagination and the boundless possibilities of flight.
