Louis BLERIOT, A THIRTY SEVEN YEAR OLD FRENCHMAN WITH A ACHIEVED AGELESS FAME BY PILOTING A MONOPLANE ACROSS THE WIDTH OF THE 22 MILE ENGLISH CHANNEL BEFORE ANYONE ELSE. IT IS WITH GREAT RESPECT AND AWE THAT THIS WRITER (A 37 YEAR OLD AMERICAN) PRESENTS THESE INSTRUCTIONS TO ACCOMPANY A MODEL KIT OF THIS FAMOUS AVIATOR'S AIRPLANE. IN AN AGE OF BIPLANES AND RELATIVELY LITTLE KNOWLEDGE OF AVIATION, THIS FAMOUS FRENCHMAN SET MANY WORLD RECORDS AND PILOTED HIS MONOPLANE TO WIN THE FIRST LONDON "DAILY MAIL" NEWSPAPER PRIZE. LARGE RED MOUSTACHE,
THE FUSELAGE WAS A MERE 25 FEET LONG FROM PROP TO TAIL AND THE WINGS, WITH A 28 FOOT SPAN, WERE COVERED WITH AN OPAQUE MATERIAL LIKE VELLUM WHICH APPEARED BOTH LIGHT AND FRAGILE. A THREE-CYLINDER, 25 HORSEPOWER ANZANI ENGINE WITH A TWO-BLADED WOODEN PROP SPED THE TINY PLANE ALONG AT 36 MILES PER HOUR. THE TOTAL WEIGHT WAS 484 POUNDS WITHOUT THE PILOT.
ON SUNDAY, JULY 25, 1909, LOUIS BLERIOT TOOK OFF FROM CALAIS, FRANCE AT 4:35 A. M. AND FLEW AT ALTITUDES UP TO A DIZZYING 250 FEET TO CROSS THE ENGLISH CHANNEL IN 37 MINUTES. HE ARRIVED ON ENGLISH SOIL NEAR DOVER CASTLE AND CRASH LANDED FROM A 65 FOOT THREE TURN SPIN I
THERE IS NO WAY TO DO THIS GREAT PERSON JUSTICE WITH SUCH A RESUME, SO PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ A THRILLING ACCOUNT OF HIS FLIGHT IN A BOOK WHICH IS ENTITLED FAMOUS FIRST FLIGHTS THAT CHANGED HISTORY BY LOWELL THOMAS AND LOWELL THOMAS, JR. THIS BOOK ALSO HAS AN EXCELLENT FRONT QUARTER VIEW OF THE BLERIOT XI WHICH SHOWS THE RIGGING DETAIL AND PROP SHAPE. THERE IS ALSO AN EXCELLENT INFLIGHT PHOTO OF THE RIGHT SIDE. FROM THESE PICTURES IT IS EVIDENT THAT THE BLERIOT XI USED A SKID INSTEAD OF A TAIL WHEEL WHICH WILL SAVE PRECIOUS WEIGHT IF USED ON THE MODEL.
THERE ARE MANY, MANY BOOKS AND OTHER SOURCES OF INFORMATION ABOUT THIS PLANE MADE FAMOUS BY LOUIS BLERIOT. LET ME ONCE AGAIN ENCOURAGE YOU TO SEEK OUT THE PICTURES AND STORY SO THAT YOU MAY FULLY APPRECIATE WHAT THESE HEARTY PIONEERS HAVE DONE SO THAT WE MAY NOW FLY WITH EASE.
Feel free to ask any questions! Good luck bidding!
