The fabulous story of the Coupe Icare
On May 11 1974, men took to the skies above Isère for the first time.
Free flight took off in France. In Saint-Hilaire-du-Touvet, a few daring people got together to buy a delta wing. They founded the first club and organized the first competition.
Forty-five years later, the Coupe Icare is the world's leading event for "pros" and enthusiasts of all aerial disciplines. Packed with surprises, performances, feats and innovations, it's a world-class trade show, an international free-flight film festival, an air show and an exceptional masquerade costume competition all rolled into one. It's this fabulous story that this book tells, bringing together a selection of the finest images from the Coupe Icare.
