EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Hanriot HD-1 aircraft, famously flown by the distinguished French World War I ace, Charles Nungesser. The image, on display at the Planes of Fame Air Museum in Chino, California, captures the HD-1 in its prime, adorned with Nungesser's distinctive badge on the fuselage side. Nungesser, who earned 45 victories in the skies of France, brought the HD-1 to the United States in 1924 for barnstorming tours. In 1925, he piloted the plane in one of the first films about World War I aviation, titled "The Sky Raider." Tragically, in 1927, Nungesser and his navigator, Francois Coli, disappeared while attempting to fly from Paris to New York. After Nungesser's disappearance, the HD-1 was sold and went on to appear in several other films, including "Wings" and "Hell's Angels." Ed Maloney, founder of the Planes of Fame Air Museum, acquired the aircraft in 1951. The HD-1, with its unique history, is a significant addition to the museum's impressive collection of historic aircraft. Circa 1925-1928. #aviationhistory #charlesnungesser #hanriotHD1 #PlanesofFame #WW1ace #moviehistory
