In the First Flight of Happiness: The Aeromoon and "A Flying-Machine Marriage: The Airman and His Bride After the Ceremony" This enchanting illustration by the renowned French war correspondent and illustrator, Georges Bertin Scott, transports us back to the magical year of 1911, during the early days of aviation. The captivating scene portrays a man and a woman, both adorned in their finest Edwardian attire, seated in an open-cockpit biplane against the backdrop of a dreamlike, ethereal landscape. United States flags flutter gracefully in the breeze, while a cascade of vibrant flowers adorns the aircraft, adding a touch of romance and whimsy to this extraordinary moment. The title of this illustration, "The Aeromoon," alludes to the newlyweds' flight into the sky, symbolizing the beginning of their marital journey. The phrase "flying-machine marriage" adds a playful twist, emphasizing the novelty and excitement of air travel during this era. The airman, with a proud and joyful expression, gazes at his bride as they soar above the clouds, their hearts filled with the purest form of happiness. As we marvel at this image, we are reminded of the transformative power of love and the spirit of adventure that defined the early 20th century. This enchanting illustration by Georges Bertin Scott serves as a testament to a time when dreams could take flight, and the possibilities of human achievement seemed endless.
