'Lombardi and Cupini.' Francesco Lombardi piloted this aircraft in the 1929 Challenge International de Tourisme. He took the ninth place in the 5942-km rally around Europe and 13th place in the overall contest, including technical trials. 'Cupini' looks suspiciously like Gino Capannini; Lombardi and Capannini flew another AS.1, I-AAVE, from Vercelli to Tokyo in 1930. Photo from: Bibliothèque nationale de France - Gallica

CANT landplane trainer. I-AAPO was the only example to take part in the 1929 Challenge International de Tourisme but pilot Mario Stoppani damaged the aircraft in Basel which was the first stop in the rally from Orly.

In one of the airship hangars that stood at Orly, a German entry is weighed for the first edition of the Challenge International de Tourisme. It is the sole example of the Arado L.I, designed for the event by Hermann Hofmann. On 5 August the plane crashed as the wing failed during aerobatics that were not part of the Challenge. The pilot lost his life - Hofmann, who knew that his aircraft was not stressed for aerobatics! Photo from: Hagley Museum and Library

The photo must have been taken during the Challenge International de Tourisme 1929 rally, with the 'German fuel depot' in the background. The Hungarian photo source says 1934 but the aircraft was apparently destroyed in 1933. Photo from: Fortepan
