Bleriot Flight Commemorated Across Channel
Paris marks the 1909 English Channel crossing with plans for anniversary tributes. Louis Bleriot, the modest French aviator, flew for about half an hour at dawn and altered Europe’s geographical balance. He inspired Lindbergh and other pioneers who linked continents with air travel. France and Britain prepare celebrations and telegrams of friendship in his memory.
