A typical FFVS J 22 fighter plane of the Swedish air force, or Flygvapnet. Harald Jacobson, “Ett flygplan – en flygepok.” Looping, April 1952, 12.

I have been asked a few times what my favourite airplane was. Well, here is one of my all-time favourites: Sweden’s FFVS J 22 fighter plane, part 1

Greetings, my reading friend. Yours truly hopes that you will forgive this decision on my part to offer myself a tiny gift on this April Fool’s Day. While I cannot explain why this is so, I must admit that Sweden’s FFVS J 22 fighter plane is indeed one of my all-time favourite airplanes. And yes, you are quite correct, my all-seeing and all-knowing reading friend, Looping was the monthly magazine of the Kungliga Svenska Aeroklubben. And you are the one who is digressing. As usual. So back to our

The outgoing representative of the electoral district of Limoux, France, senator Henri Charles Étienne Dujardin-Beaumetz. Joseph Uzanne. Figures contemporaines. (10th edition) (Paris: Librairie Henri Floury, 1906), no page number.

Adieu-siatz, my reading friend, hello and welcome to this second part of our article devoted to the electoral setbacks of Charles Toussaint “Jules” Védrines during the partial legislative election of Limoux, France, in March 1912. You will remember that we parted ways on 16 March, the day before the ballot. Let us resume without further delay the weft of our history. 17 March – voting day. Védrines flew over the villages surrounding Limoux and visited friends in an automobile. While Védrines

Cartoon of Senator Henri Charles Étienne Dujardin-Beaumetz messing with “Jules” Védrines, the defeated candidate in the Limoux, France, by-election of March 1912. Anon., “La course Limoux-Palais-Bourbon.” Le Rire, 30 March 1912, no page number.

And you already have a question, my reading friend? That was fast, not that I mind of course. If I may paraphrase the inveterate British inventor Wallace, ooh, but yours truly does like a bit of pontification. In what way and why was senator Henri Charles Étienne Dujardin-Beaumetz gently messing with Charles Toussaint “Jules” Védrines, the defeated candidate in the Limoux, France, by-election of March 1912? Well, that is a long story and you should know by now how yours truly loves long and

Good morning, my reading friend. Yours truly would like to commemorate, with you to the extent possible, the 60th anniversary of the acquisition, by the National Aviation Museum, today’s Canada Aviation and Space Museum, in Ottawa, Ontario, of an example of a type of aircraft which played a very important role in the history of Canadian aviation. Indeed, the Canuck had / has more Canadian aeronautical first under its, err, wings than any other type of flying machine: first aircraft to be truly

Hello, old bean / chap. Fancy a trip in your crate today? If so, yours truly has a mildly interesting story for you. And yes, you are indeed quite right, my astute reading friend. The photograph above was also published in the November-December 1932 issue of the Chilean magazine Chile Aéreo, in an article entitled “Fotographias auténticas de los combates aéreos.” You did not know that the breathtaking library of the Canada Aviation and Space Museum, in Ottawa, Ontario, had issues of Latin

Good morning, my reading friend, and welcome to the second part of our article on the Canadian Canadair CL-44 cargo plane. As you are no doubt aware, relations between Canada and its powerful neighbour to the south are sometimes (often?) difficult. An example of these tensions concerned, you guessed it, the quite innocuous aircraft the CL-44 was. In 1959 and 1960, even before the first flight of the civilian swing-tail version of that aircraft, Canadair Limited of Cartierville, Québec, obtained

An advertisement from the aircraft manufacturer Canadair Limited of Cartierville, Québec, extolling the merits of its ginormous cargo plane, the Canadair CL-44. Anon., “Canadair Limited.” La Presse, January 23, 1962, 29.

Happy New Year, my long-suffering reading friend. Yours truly would like to enter this year 2022 of the common era, and no longer of the Christian era, with a not too boring topic. Indeed, let us not forget, the Christian peoples present on planet Earth represent only 30 % of the population of naked apes currently alive on Earth. Why not start the year 2022 with texts concerning aviation? If I may paraphrase Homer Jay Simpson, out of context, aviation is the cause and the solution to many

Welcome, my reading friend, welcome. Yours truly would like to commemorate with you the 70th anniversary of the first flight of an excellent Canadian aircraft, the de Havilland Canada DHC-3 Otter, a flying machine present in the collection of the splendiferous Canada Aviation and Space Museum, in Ottawa, Ontario, in the form of a Canadian Armed Forces CSR-123 / CC-123 Otter. De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited (DHC) of Downsview, Ontario, a well-known aircraft manufacturer mentioned many

True or false, my reading friend, the Franco-British Aérospatiale / British Aircraft Concorde was the first airliner to break the sound barrier. The answer to that ToF is… False. Yes, false. The Concorde was not even the second airliner to break the sound barrier. Nay. That honour belonged / belongs to a Tupolev Tu-144, which did the deed in June 1969. A Concorde broke the sound barrier in October of that same year. I kid you not. This being said (typed?), yours truly is all but certain that you
