EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the sleek and elegant lines of the Hanriot HD-22 racing monoplane, the sole example built for the prestigious 1921 Coupe Deutsch de la Meurthe air race. The HD-22 was a groundbreaking design for its time, featuring a streamlined fuselage, advanced aerodynamics, and a powerful engine capable of reaching impressive speeds. Despite the promise shown by the HD-22 during testing, it was a cruel twist of fate that saw the plane withdrawn from the race at the last moment. The reasons for its withdrawal remain unclear, but it is believed that mechanical issues may have been to blame. Regardless, the HD-22's withdrawal was a disappointment to many, as it was considered a strong contender in the competition. The Coupe Deutsch de la Meurthe was an important event in the early history of aviation, attracting pilots and aviation enthusiasts from around the world. The race, held in the skies above Reims, France, was a testament to the progress being made in aviation technology and the determination of those who pushed the boundaries of flight. This photograph captures the Hanriot HD-22 in a moment of anticipation, poised on the runway and ready to take to the skies. Despite its untimely withdrawal from the race, the HD-22 remains an iconic symbol of the early days of aviation, a time when innovation and determination drove the industry forward.
