EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the excitement of an early aviation airshow on the sandy shores of Boulogne-sur-Mer, France, on the 26th of August 1912. In the background, the iconic Casino building stands proudly, adding a touch of elegance and grandeur to the scene. The focus of the photograph, however, is the daring performance of pioneer aviator Philippe Marty in his Caudron G2 biplane. Philippe Marty, born in 1893, was one of the early pioneers of French aviation. Along with his brothers, René and Émile, Marty played a significant role in the development of aviation in France during the early 1900s. The Caudron G2 biplane, a two-seater open-cockpit monoplane, was one of their most notable creations. The photograph shows Marty skillfully maneuvering the biplane over the beach, with the crowd of onlookers gazing in awe at the spectacle unfolding before them. The sandy beach and the clear blue sky provide a stark contrast to the metal and fabric of the aircraft, highlighting the ingenuity and innovation of the early aviation pioneers. This photograph is a testament to the early days of aviation history, a time when the skies were still a new frontier and the thrill of flight was a source of wonder and excitement for all. The image of Philippe Marty and his Caudron G2 biplane performing at Boulogne-sur-Mer on that sunny August day in 1912 remains an enduring symbol of the courage and determination of the early aviators who dared to take to the skies and explore the boundless possibilities of human flight.
