Hanriot monoplane, 1910
Hanriot monoplane, 1910. Piloted by 15-year-old Marcel Hanriot (1894-1961), this monoplane is being flown low over scared horses and their handlers. This French airplane was designed and built by Marcels father, Rene Hanriot (1867-1925). In 1907, Rene, originally a motor sports enthusiast, had founded the Hanriot aircraft company that produced a range of designs until it merged with Farman in 1936. Photographed in Hungary on 4 June 1910, the day before the Budapest Air Show. This photograph is from the Bain News Service, one of the USAs earliest news picture libraries

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in aviation history. Taken on 4 June 1910, the day before the Budapest Air Show, it showcases the Hanriot monoplane soaring low over a field of startled horses and their handlers in Hungary. What makes this image even more remarkable is that it was piloted by none other than Marcel Hanriot, a mere 15-year-old at the time. The monoplane itself was designed and built by Marcel's father, Rene Hanriot, who founded the renowned Hanriot aircraft company in 1907. This French airplane manufacturer produced various innovative designs until its merger with Farman in 1936. The photograph not only highlights the technological advancements of early flight but also emphasizes the strong bond between father and son. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness both awe-inspiring progress and natural trepidation as these magnificent creatures react to the buzzing marvel above them. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity pushing boundaries while coexisting with nature. Preserved by Library of Congress from Bain News Service, one of America's earliest news picture libraries, this historical gem offers us a glimpse into European aviation during the early 20th century. It symbolizes courage, ambition, and familial legacy within an ever-evolving world driven by innovation.
