Louis Bleriot was the Lindbergh of his day. His pioneer flight across the Eng- lish Channel was as daring a feat in 1909 as was Colonel Lind- bergh's trans-Atlantic trip through the air in 1827, Notwithstanding the 18 years that intervened between their epochal flights, it is not unlikely that the names of Bleriot and Lindbergh will be closely linked in aero- nautical history. Aviation Progress By being the first to accomplish | the seemingly impossible feat of their respective times, each was responsible for a direct move in the progress of aviation. Lmd-!‘ bergh's interest toward flying is said to have been partly inspired by the stories of Bleriot's early fame. When the Spirit of St. Louis made its historic landing at Le Bourget, the French flier's name was one of the first to be uttered by the young American. How aviation advanced between | those two flights is indicated by the fact that when Lindbergh span- ned the Atlantic, Bleriot's feat had‘ become a commonplace, every-day | event. Son of Manufacturer Born in Cambrai, July 1, 1872, Bleriot was the son of a manu- facturer and thus came in contact | with things mechanical since his boyhood. He went to a technical| school and took a degree in en- gineering. After his military serv-i ice, spent for the most part as a| second lieutenant of artillery at| Tarbes, he became interested in automobiles. After several years of experimen- tation, he invented the automobile searchlight in _1896. Four years| later the sight of the famous fly-| ing machine built by Ader and ex- hibited in Paris, turned his atten- tion toward the then infantile at Dowell five miles from here. The miners were fighting a fire which broke out deep in the mine when an electric transformer ex- ploded and fgnited the gas. science of aviation.
