Aviation Historian 32 / J.-C.Carbonel - France's Air Pioneers: Louis Bleriot

Bleriot is most famous for his development of the archetypal pre-Great War monoplane, specifically the Bleriot XI, the type in which he made his historic crossing of the English Channel in July 1909. Here a Bleriot XI gambols in front of spectators at Bournemouth racecourse in 1910.

Луи Блерио пересекает Ла-Манш. 25 июля 1909г.: установленный газетой "Daily Mail" приз в 1000 фунтов стерлингов за перелет через Ла-Манш выиграл Луи Блерио. Француз взлетел на своем моноплане Bleriot Type XI недалеко от Кале в 4 ч 35 мин утра и в 5 ч 12 мин, невзирая на туман над Ла-Маншем, в котором летчик едва не заблудился, и перегрев мотора Anzani мощностью 25 л. с. (мотор охладил дождь), приземлился в Великобритании в районе замка Дувр. Ла-Манш был покорен за 37 мин. На следующий день на первой полосе британского таблоида "Daily Sketch" красовался портрет Блерио с подписью: "Плакали наши денежки". От правительства Франции Блерио получил сумму, эквивалентную 3000 фунтам стерлингов. Денежные призы позволили летчику основать собственную фирму.
One of the most famous pictures in early aviation: Louis Bleriot (in unmistakable helmet and moustache) in front of his monoplane at the cross-Channel landing spot in Northfall Meadow behind Dover Castle on July 25, 1909.
THE END OF A FAMOUS FLIGHT: As recorded elsewhere in this issue, the Mollisons, after accomplishing a magnificent flight across the Atlantic, met with misfortune - happily without very serious consequences - when landing. Twenty-four years ago - on July 25, 1909 - Louis Bleriot made history when attempting a similar exploit, the crossing of the English Channel. He, too, crashed on landing at Dover, as shown in the accompanying illustration. The progress made in flying since that time is remarkable when we compare his flight with the recent accomplishments of Gen. Balbo and his "Armada," Wiley Post's Round-the-World "trip," and that of the Mollisons referred to above.

Bleriot sets off on his Channel flight. The machine is the still airworthy Bleriot which occasionally flies in France. An apparently unavoidable departure from strict accuracy is that the Anzani engine is not a three-cylinder of the type used on the memorable flight.

A rare photograph of Adolphe Pegoud demonstrating the cable-and-hook system with a ground-based structure and a Bleriot XI. From the positioning of the aircraft at the beginning of the aerial runway, it is likely that Pegoud is bringing the machine in to alight on the wire after having accomplished a successful take-off and circuit of the flying ground.

Aviation Historian 32 / J.-C.Carbonel - France's Air Pioneers: Louis Bleriot

Adolphe Pegoud in the cockpit of the Bleriot XI fitted with the hook and suspended from the wire. Pegoud was Bleriot’s favoured test pilot and undertook numerous flights in which he “pushed the envelope” of what was possible with an aircraft in terms of manoeuvrability. Pegoud was the first pilot in Europe to fly inverted and perform a loop, in 1913.

A unique photograph of Bleriot XI-2 'Ertugrul' at Yesilkoy during the World War One. It was taken either just before the aeroplane left for Canakkale prior to the Gallipoli campaign, or more likely, after it returned late in March 1915. The red-white-red cockade form of national markings are visible beneath its wings, these perhaps having been inspired by French practice during the first months of the war before the Ottoman Empire entered as an ally of Germany. Several pilots can be identified, including Sakir (1), Cemal who flew this Bleriot over Gallipoli (2) and Fevzi (3). The black African pilot standing in front of the engine is Naval Yuzbasi Ahmet Ali Arab who is understood to have been descended from a freed slave in the Ottoman Sultan's Palace. He and a colleague named Ali Mehmet were the first two black pilots in the history of aviation.
