EDITORS COMMENTS
This cover design marks the Official Program for the Second Competition of the Gordon Bennett Aeronautic Cup, held in October 1907 at Forest Park in St. Louis, USA. The image showcases the thrilling spirit of early aviation as men prepare for flight in hot air balloons. The empty sandbag in the foreground hints at the imminent inflation process, while the men in the background don their goggles and check their equipment with focused determination. The serene forest backdrop adds a sense of tranquility and contrast to the excitement of the impending ascent. The second Gordon Bennett Aeronautic Cup competition was a significant event in the history of American flight, attracting international attention and advancing the field of aeronautics through transport and travel innovation. This cover design beautifully encapsulates the essence of the era, offering a glimpse into the past when men dared to defy gravity and explore the boundless skies.
