Bird Man Sets New World Distance Record in France
In Buc, Maurice Tabuteau flew 262 miles in 8 hours and 40 minutes in a Maurice Farman biplane to break the distance record and lead the 1910 Michelin Cup contest. He was lifted from his aircraft after landing, then received a long massage to revive circulation as the time limit neared. Previously, Legegneux’s 320.6 miles over 6 hours 1 minute stood as the distance mark before Tabuteau’s ascent. The 1919 Michelin Cup time limit looms, with Henry Farman among others aiming to surpass Tabuteau. An Army aviator, Lieutenant Deaumont, reportedly suffered fatal injuries after a 150-foot monoplane fall during a test flight over maneuver grounds in Paris.
