EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Sole d'Aviation: La double commande" (Sole of Aviation: The Double Command), showcases an intriguing moment in the early history of aviation. The image, taken in 1916 at Châteauroux, France, depicts aviation pioneer Maurice Busset (1879-1936) in the midst of a dual control flying lesson. Busset, a native of Châteauroux, became an aviator during World War I, making this photograph a significant piece of both topographical and aeronautical history. On the reverse side of the print, the inscription "Comment devenir aviateur - Sole de Chateauroux - 1916" (How to Become a Pilot - Sole of Châteauroux - 1916) provides further information about the context of the photograph. This suggests that the image was likely used as part of a teaching or instructional resource for aspiring pilots during that time. Maurice Busset's aviation career began during the First World War, when he joined the French military aviation corps. After the war, he continued to fly and even set several records for long-distance flights. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the early days of aviation, a time when the thrill of flight was still new and the possibilities seemed endless. This 25 x 30 cm (approximately 10 x 12 inches) print, with its rich historical significance, is a must-have for any aviation enthusiast, historian, or collector. The topographical details of the photograph, including the Châteauroux airfield in the background, add to its authenticity and make it a valuable addition to any collection.
