EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we are transported back to the year 1935, a time of great innovation in aviation. The Lieutenant de Vaisseau, an awe-inspiring six-engined flying boat, takes center stage as it rests inside its hangar before embarking on its first trials at Biscarosse. This remarkable aircraft stands as a testament to French engineering prowess, being not only the largest flying boat ever constructed in France but also the second largest in the world. The Lieutenant de Vaisseau was commissioned by the French Government with high hopes for its potential use in Transatlantic service. Although not explicitly mentioned, one can't help but imagine this magnificent machine gracefully gliding through vast skies towards distant horizons. Perhaps it would find itself traversing South American routes or exploring uncharted territories across oceans. As we gaze upon this historic image captured by Between the Wars photographer from TopFoto on February 10th, our imagination soars alongside this colossal flying boat. We marvel at its sleek lines and powerful engines that promise unparalleled speed and endurance. This print serves as a timeless reminder of humanity's insatiable desire to conquer new frontiers and push boundaries beyond what was once deemed impossible. It encapsulates an era when dreams took flight against all odds - an era where innovation knew no bounds.
