Balloonists Cross Atlantic Reach Paris For Historic Flight
Three American balloonists who completed the first trans Atlantic crossing radioed for hamburger and fries as they neared France. They aimed for Le Bourget Airport near Paris following Charles Lindbergh’s 1927 route. At Le Havre they drifted toward Chartres while Paris officials expected a 7 to 8 pm landing. Two French ministers awaited with champagne. The 11 story black and silver craft traveled two miles up at 31.4 mph over the English Channel as Brittany weather stations confirmed radio contact.
