Farman I/II/III
<...>
В 1909 году Анри Фарман решил сам заняться проектированием самолетов вместе со своим братом Морисом, основав в Бийанкуре фирму "Avions Henri et Maurice Farman", в том же году приступившую к выпуску классического самолета Farman III. Эта машина имела один установленный впереди руль высоты и четыре элерона для управления по крену. От "завес" на крыле и горизонтальном оперении отказались, установили сдвоенные рули направления, облегченное четырехколесное шасси и ввели лыжи, предотвращавшие капотирование на неровной поверхности. В первом полете, состоявшемся в апреле 1909 года, Farman III был оснащен 4-цилиндровым рядным двигателем Vivinus мощностью 50 л. с. (37 кВт), который вскоре заменили новым 7-цилиндровым ротативным двигателем Gnome такой же мощности. На этом самолете Анри Фарман установил в 1909 году два мировых рекорда дальности полета. Первый рекордный результат был показан во время знаменитой встречи авиаторов в Реймсе, проходившей с 22 по 29 августа 1909 года, когда Фарман преодолел 180 км за 3 ч 5 мин. Второй рекорд был установлен в Мурмелоне 4 ноября 1909 года и составил 234,21 км. Так всего за два года Анри Фарман завоевал себе место в истории авиации.

Farman III по-настоящему позволял почувствовать полет, благодаря своей продуманной конструкции с большими несущими поверхностями, элеронами вместо "завес" и легким, но прочным шасси.

The first of Henry Farman's own designs, the Henry Farman III, with its 50hp Vivinus engine, made its maiden flight during April 1909, and soon consolidated Farman among the front rank of French aviators. For the record, Henry Farman's No I had been a l907 Voisin as mentioned above, his No II was the same machine, which from late 1907 into 1908, he modified progressively, first removing the inter-wing curtains and then by embodying ailerons. It was with this machine that Farman set many records including that for making the first circular flight over a 1 kilometre, or 0.62-mile course at Issy near Paris on 13 January 1908. The success of his own first real design, which sold in some numbers, was to propel Henry and his brother, Maurice, into becoming aircraft manufacturers in their own right. The fact that Farman spelt his forename with a 'y', not an 'i' suffix is verified on the fins of all his aircraft of this period.

Flight 1938-10 / Flight Advertisements
On 27th-28th Apl., 1910, Louis Paulhan won the first actively contested air-race in history. He flew the 183 miles from London to Manchester in under the 24 hours. Leaving London in the late afternoon of the 27th, Paulhan flew in one lap to Lichfield (117 miles). At 5.32 a.m. the next morning he landed at Manchester well within the 24 hour limit allowed. By such experiments and by the pioneer work of Shell the long-distance flights of today have been made possible. Shell supplied first-grade petrol to the aerodromes which have since developed into extensive airports and so paved the way to the present standard of efficiency. By means of Shell Aviation Service and the Shell Carnet System a modern pilot can obtain supplies and service on credit at any Shell station throughout the world.
