EDITORS COMMENTS
"This photograph captures Hauvette-Michelin, a daring aviator and nephew of the renowned Michelin Frères tyre manufacturing family, at the helm of an Antoinette VII during the Grande Semaine d'Aviation meeting held at Heliopolis near Cairo in February 1910. Organized by the Aero Club of Egypt, this early and notable week-long event attracted just 13 entrants, including Jacques Balsan and his famous plane, Ble. The aviation community gathered to showcase their innovative aircraft and push the boundaries of aviation technology. Hauvette-Michelin's participation added an extra layer of intrigue to the event, as the Michelin name was synonymous with transportation and innovation in the automobile industry. The Antoinette VII, a powerful biplane, was a testament to the advancements in aviation engineering at the time. With its open cockpit and exposed engine, the aircraft presented a thrilling sight as it took to the skies above the desert landscape of Egypt. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the early days of aviation history, capturing the spirit of adventure and the determination of pioneering aviators like Hauvette-Michelin." (250 words)
