EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the thrill and excitement of an early aviation era as French aviator Sardier prepares for takeoff in his Clement triplane glider at a gliding contest held near Clermont Ferrand, France, in 1922. The image showcases the intricate design of the triplane glider, with its three wings providing added lift and stability during flight. Sardier's determination is evident as he braces himself against the wind, ready to be towed into the air by an unseen aircraft. The tow rope tautly connects the glider to the towing plane, creating a sense of tension and anticipation. The open countryside and clear blue sky serve as a picturesque backdrop, highlighting the vast expanse of freedom that awaits Sardier once he is airborne. Gliding contests were a popular pastime during the early 20th century, providing a platform for aviators to showcase their skills and push the boundaries of aviation technology. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when human flight was still a new and wondrous achievement. The image is a testament to the courage and innovation of early aviators like Sardier, who dared to dream of soaring through the skies and exploring the world from a bird's eye view.
