But Blériot crosses Channel in historic aerial feat
An eyewitness recounts Louis Blériot’s bold 1909 Channel crossing in a monoplane. The French aviator took off near Calais, soared over the sea in a record dash, landed safely in a meadow east of Dover, and won the £5,000 prize from the London Daily Mail, while rival flyers Latham and de Bajement had attempted the journey the same day. The account notes crowd reactions, wind conditions, and the craft’s engine noise as it approached land.
