EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage image showcases a Breguet monoplane from the early 1900s, an epoch-making aircraft that marked a significant milestone in aviation history. The monoplane, with its sleek and streamlined design, stands in stark contrast to the bulky biplanes of the time. Its elegant wings stretch out, ready to carry the brave aviator into the vast expanse of the open sky. The black-and-white photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back to the Victorian and Edwardian eras when the world was fascinated by the possibilities of powered flight. The image exudes an air of excitement and anticipation, as the aviator prepares for takeoff, leaving the ground behind and defying gravity. The Breguet monoplane, with its innovative design, was a favorite among early aviators and military forces, including the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) and the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS). Its monocoque structure, which utilized the entire wing as a structural component, was a significant departure from the trussed and lattice structures of earlier biplanes. This design not only made the monoplane more aerodynamic but also lighter and stronger. The lantern slide, a popular medium for projecting photographs during the early 20th century, adds to the nostalgic charm of this image. As we gaze at this photograph, we are reminded of the spirit of innovation and adventure that drove early aviators to push the boundaries of human flight.
