"Voisin: From Marionettes to Aviation Pioneers" Step into the world of Voisin, where innovation and adventure take flight. Explore the captivating history behind this iconic name that transcends industries. In the late 19th century, Louis Edmond Duranty's lithography "Les voisines" showcased the charm and allure in a whimsical puppet theater setting. Little did anyone know then that this name would soon become synonymous with aviation excellence. Fast forward to 1908 when Henri Farman soared through European skies in an early Voisin biplane, marking a significant milestone in cross-country aeroplane flights. His daring journey from Chalons to Reims captivated audiences worldwide and paved the way for future aviators. The following year witnessed another triumph as French aviator Louis Paulhan claimed victory by making the first-ever aeroplane flight from London to Manchester. This feat not only earned him a staggering £10, 000 prize but also solidified Voisin's place in aviation history. Raymonde de Laroche, a trailblazing female pilot, defied societal norms and took her place among these legendary aviators. With courage and determination, she soared through the skies on her trusty Voisin aircraft, breaking barriers along the way. Meanwhile, Henri Rougier secured his spot in history books by winning the prestigious Grand Prix of Berlin in 1909 aboard his powerful Voisin machine. The roar of engines echoed across Europe as he raced towards victory. But it wasn't just about passenger planes; military might was also part of Voisin's legacy. The formidable Voisin 5 bombers played a crucial role during times of conflict, showcasing their strength and resilience on battlefields around the world. Beyond aviation marvels, let us not forget that "voisins" can be found beyond flying machines too.
