EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of innovation and competition that defined the early days of aviation history. Taken on April 12, 1913, during the Monaco Schneider Trophy Contest, the image showcases the M. Bregis Breguet H1-U2 seaplane (registration number unknown) seeking refuge at Beaulieu, as it waits for the next race. In the foreground, the wreckage of M. Weymann's Nieuport lies discarded, a poignant reminder of the risks and challenges faced by these pioneering aviators. The Schneider Trophy was an international air racing competition, established in 1912, with the primary objective of promoting the development of seaplanes and improving their performance. The contest took place annually until 1930, and it played a significant role in advancing aviation technology and pushing the boundaries of what was thought possible in aircraft design. The M. Bregis Breguet H1-U2 seaplane, designed by the French aviation pioneer Louis Charles Breguet, was a remarkable machine for its time. Its sleek, streamlined hull and innovative design made it one of the most advanced seaplanes of the era. The H1-U2 was powered by a 110 horsepower Le Rhone rotary engine and had a top speed of around 60 miles per hour. As the sun sets on the Monaco harbor, the M. Bregis Breguet H1-U2 seaplane rests in the shelter, its wings folded neatly, awaiting the next challenge. The wreck of M. Weymann's Nieuport, a stark contrast to the modern marvel behind it, serves as a humbling reminder of the sacrifices made in the pursuit of progress. This photograph is a testament to the courage, determination, and ingenuity of the early aviators who dared to dream and push the limits of what was possible in the skies above.
