In this engraving from "Le Petite Journal" dated 4/02/1912, Vedrines can be seen standing atop his monoplane as he throws leaflets over the iconic Place de la Concorde. The leaflets bear a powerful message: "Give aeroplanes to France". Vedrines' daring act of patriotism symbolizes the beginning of aviation's impact on society during the early 20th century. As an airplane enthusiast himself, he believed that providing France with more aircraft would strengthen their military capabilities and propel them into a new era of transportation. The vibrant colors in this image bring life to the scene, showcasing the bustling street below and emphasizing Vedrines' audacious feat against the backdrop of historic Parisian architecture.
