EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, French aviator M. Garros is seen skillfully piloting a Morane-Saulnier Hydro-Monoplane over the shimmering waters of Tir-au-Pigeons in Monte Carlo during the Monaco Schneider Trophy Contest in April 1913. The Morane-Saulnier Hydro-Monoplane, a pioneering seaplane of its time, was designed by the renowned French aircraft manufacturing company, Morane-Saulnier. The Schneider Trophy Contest was an international air race established in 1912 to promote the development of seaplanes and improve their performance. The contest took place annually until 1930 and was named after the Schneider brothers, who sponsored the event. M. Garros, a brave and accomplished aviator, was a favorite among the contestants. The hydro-monoplane he is flying in the photograph is a testament to the technological advancements of the era. With its sleek design and powerful engine, the Morane-Saulnier Hydro-Monoplane was a formidable machine, capable of reaching impressive speeds and altitudes. As M. Garros soars over the picturesque Tir-au-Pigeons, the sun casts a golden glow over the water, creating a breathtaking scene. The contrast between the blue waters and the white wings of the hydro-monoplane is a sight to behold. The backdrop of Monte Carlo, with its luxurious buildings and lush greenery, adds to the grandeur of the moment. This photograph captures the spirit of adventure and innovation that defined the early days of aviation. M. Garros and his Morane-Saulnier Hydro-Monoplane represent the bold steps taken by pioneering aviators to push the boundaries of what was possible in the skies. The Monaco Schneider Trophy Contest served as a platform for these advancements, and this photograph is a testament to the thrilling and groundbreaking achievements of that time.
