EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the elated French crew of the Concorde supersonic jet after its historic first flight on 2 March 1969. Seated in the foreground, test pilot Jean Guignard beams with pride, his eyes reflecting the excitement and accomplishment of the moment. To his left, flight engineer Henri Perrier, with a confident smile, checks over the instrumentation of the cockpit. The image was taken in Toulouse, France, where the Concorde was developed and manufactured by the Sud Aviation and British Aircraft Corporation consortium. The Concorde, an iconic symbol of aviation innovation, reached speeds of over twice the speed of sound during its maiden voyage, marking a new era in air travel. This photograph is a testament to the groundbreaking achievement of these French pioneers and their role in the development of supersonic aviation.
