Gordon-Bennett Cup - 1920 © Collections L'Équipe September 28, 1920. The farmers of the Beauce had a front row seat when the Nieuport-Delage, piloted by Joseph Sadi-Lecointe, made the impeccable turn that allowed it to win the Gordon-Bennett Cup. This aeronautical competition consists of being the fastest pilot on a 100 km circuit that has been flown three times. After ten years of setting speed and altitude records, Sadi-Lecointe is one of the most gifted pilots of this generation of pioneers, unsung heroes of aviation history. Inkjet printing on baryta paper. Single posterior print run. Edition 1/1. 60 x 80 cm
