EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in aviation history - Europe's first flight. The image showcases Alberto Santos-Dumont, the pioneering Brazilian aviator, standing proudly next to his 14-bis biplane at Chateau de Bagatelle in Bois de Boulogne, Paris, France. The significance of this photograph lies in the remarkable achievements of Santos-Dumont. In 1906, he won a prestigious prize of 3000 francs by successfully completing a flight of 60 meters with his innovative aircraft design. This groundbreaking feat not only marked Europe's first powered flight but also showcased Santos-Dumont's exceptional talent and determination. But Santos-Dumont didn't stop there. Just days later on November 12th, he shattered records once again by flying an impressive distance of 220 meters using the same aircraft prototype. This extraordinary accomplishment earned him the Aero Club de France prize of 1500 francs and set the very first FAI recognized world record for distance flown. As we admire this historical snapshot frozen in time, it serves as a reminder of human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit to conquer new frontiers. Santos-Dumont's unwavering passion for aviation paved the way for future advancements in flight technology that have shaped our world today.
