Would you have the guts to be the first? The Frenchman Louis Blériot crossed the English Channel as the first person ever by plane.

He did this on July 25, 1909 in his Blériot XI. He did this without a compass and only a few feet above the water.

When his engine overheated, divine providence provided him with a shower to cool it. He landed in a meadow near Dover Castle.

His competitor Hubert Lantham did an attempt on July 19, 1909 but ended up in the water due to engine failure.

High quality poster. Reproduction of original handmade painting by Thijs Postma.
