EDITORS COMMENTS
In the shadows of the First World War, the French Government pondered innovative solutions to evade the relentless German Air Force. This artists' impression captures an audacious idea under consideration: aeroplanes with invisible wings. The stealthy design was believed to be achieved through the use of cellon, a mysterious material thought to be a cross between mica and celluloid. By making the wings virtually undetectable, French pilots could gain the upper hand in the skies, evading enemy sightings and increasing their chances of success in aerial combat. This futuristic concept, which appears as an alternative front cover to the Illustrated London News in 1916, showcases the ingenuity and determination of the French military during this pivotal period in history. The invisible wings were a testament to the relentless pursuit of technological advancements in the face of adversity, offering a glimpse into the possibilities of the future of transport and warfare.
