Hi everybody, The pages about the 1910 Nantes meeting have been uploaded. It was a relatively minor meeting, with 11 pilots participating. The big star was Léon Morane, who won the 75 km crosscountry event and impressed everybody with his control of his Blériot. Other pilots included Eugène Renaux, ...

Hi everybody, It took almost two and a half years, but here's finally another meeting added! It's the Circuit de l'Est, the world's first multistage air race, organized by the Paris newspaper "Le Matin". It started and finished in Paris and passed five other towns in north-east France duri...

I don't have much on that meeting, but here's what "La Revue Aérienne" (1910-09-10) wrote: A Bar-le-Duc. Sur l'initiative de M. Chevallier, maire, et de M. Collin, président de la section de Bar-le-Duc de la Ligue Nationale Aérienne, assisté de M. Petit, trésorier, deux journées d'expérien...

Hi everybody! http://www.thefirstairraces.net/meetings/la1008/images/poster345.jpg It's been almost a year, but here are finally some new pages.
