EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of excitement and anticipation as French aviation pioneer Rene Bardin prepares to launch his innovative Bardin B-1 glider at the Congres experimental de vol sans moteur de Vauville in 1923. The B-1, designed and built by Bardin, is a testament to his ingenuity and passion for flight. With no engine to power the aircraft, Bardin utilizes a bungee system to propel the glider into the air. The image, taken from the left side, offers a unique perspective of the launch, with the taut bungee cord stretched tight against the glider's wings and the determined expression on Bardin's face as he holds on. The stereo pair, LH image, adds depth and dimension to the scene, transporting viewers back in time to this significant moment in aviation history. The Bardin B-1 glider represents a crucial step forward in the development of flight technology, showcasing the dedication and innovation of its creator. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past of aeronautical transportation, offering a glimpse into the early days of aviation and the pioneering spirit that drove it forward.
