Bar-le-Duc / Grand Fête d’Aviation. 1910.
“Held in Popey on August 14 and 15, 1910, the air show at Bar-le-Duc, the birth city of France’s President Raymond Poincaré, was nothing but a fair with balls, concerts, and festivities of all kinds. The four airplanes present were there just for show, and the pilots were only asked to pose for photographs with beautiful women” (Affiches de l’Aviation, p. 34).
