EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the spirit of aviation's early days as Henri Rougier takes the controls of his Voisin biplane at the Grande Semaine d'Aviation meeting held in Heliopolis near Cairo, Egypt, in February 1910. Organized by the Aero Club of Egypt, this notable week-long event attracted just 13 entrants, including the Antoinette VII piloted by Hauvette-Michelin and Jacques Balsan's Bleriot (Ble). The Grande Semaine d'Aviation marked a significant moment in the history of aviation transport, as it was one of the first major aviation meetings held outside Europe. Rougier's determined expression and focused gaze convey the sense of adventure and innovation that defined this era. The long, slender Voisin biplane, with its distinctive wings and open cockpit, epitomizes the sleek design and engineering prowess of the early aeroplanes. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of aviation at the dawn of the 20th century, a time when the skies were just beginning to be explored and the possibilities seemed limitless.
