EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Achille Beltrame depicts a thrilling and dramatic moment in aviation history. In this colour lithograph, we witness the incredible escape of a bear that was being transported on an airline from New York to Pittsburgh. The bear managed to break free from its cage and make its way into the cockpit, initiating a terrifying struggle with the pilots. As chaos ensued within the confined space of the cockpit, both pilots valiantly fought against the powerful beast. Despite sustaining serious injuries during this bloody encounter, they displayed unwavering determination and skill as they battled to immobilize the bear and regain control of their aircraft. Beltrame's illustration captures not only the intensity of this life-or-death struggle but also showcases the resilience and resourcefulness of these courageous pilots. Their ability to land safely despite their injuries is truly commendable. Published in Courier Sunday in May 1939, this artwork serves as a reminder of humanity's constant battle against nature's untamed forces. It symbolizes our relentless pursuit for freedom even in challenging circumstances. Beltrame's masterful depiction transports us back to this extraordinary event, allowing us to marvel at both human bravery and animal instinct. This remarkable piece stands as a testament to our enduring fascination with wildlife encounters and serves as an homage to those who triumph over adversity in unexpected situations.
