couverture souple. Dédicace du père de l'aviation à l'as des as de 14-18 | Les frères Douladoure | Toulouse 1919 | 14 x 22.50 cm | broché | Édition originale de cet ouvrage publié à Toulouse, berceau de l'aéronautique. Précieux et rare envoi autographe signé de Clément Ader à René Fonck, «l'As des As» de l'aviation française qui comptabilisa le plus de victoires dans le ciel au cours de la Première Guerre Mondiale: «à monsieur René Fonck membre du Comité de Direction de l'Aéro-Club. En souvenir du 2mars reconnaissant hommage.» Cette précieuse dédicace fut vraisemblablement rédigée le 2 mars 1922 à l'occasion d'un banquet d'honneur organisé par l'Aéro-Club de France, au Palais d'Orsay, afin de célébrer la remise de la cravate de commandeur de la Légion d'honneur à Clément Ader, le premier Français qui dès 1890 effectua des tentatives de vols sur ses prototypes baptisés «Éole» et «Zéphyr». Cet ultime hommage marqua l'apogée de la carrière de ce génial inventeur dont l'armée française s'était pourtant détournée après la démonstration de décollage peu concluante de son « Aquilon» à Satory en 1897. Rare et agréable exemplaire enrichi d'un exceptionnel envoi autographe signé du père de l'aéronautique au héros militaire de l'aviation française et alliée René Fonck, surnommé «l'As des As» pendant la Première Guerre mondiale avec à son actif soixante-quinze victoires homologuées. | [ENGLISH DESCRIPTION FOLLOWS] First edition of this work published in Toulouse, cradle of aeronautics. Precious and rare signed autograph inscription by Clément Ader to René Fonck, « l'As des As » of French aviation, who achieved the highest number of aerial victories during the First World War: « à monsieur René Fonck membre du Comité de Direction de l'Aéro-Club. En souvenir du 2 mars reconnaissant hommage. » This remarkable dedication was most likely written on 2 March 1922 on the occasion of a banquet held by the Aéro-Club de France at the Palais d'Orsay, celebrating the award of the Commander's insignia of the Légion d'honneur to Clément Ader, the first Frenchman who, as early as 1890, attempted flight with his prototypes named « Éole » and « Zéphyr ». This final tribute marked the pinnacle of the career of this brilliant inventor, from whom the French army had nonetheless turned away after the unconvincing demonstration flight of his « Aquilon » at Satory in 1897. A rare and desirable copy, enriched with an exceptional signed autograph inscription from the father of aeronautics to René Fonck, the military hero of French and Allied aviation, nicknamed « l'As des As » during the First World War with seventy-five confirmed victories to his credit. *.…
