Glorious Flight : Across the Channel with Louis Bleriot

This charming illustrated children¹s book is a witty pictorial reincarnation of Louis Bleriot¹s first experience with an airship, his absorption in Œflying machines¹, and that first Cross-Channel flight. Against the vastness of sky and bare earth, the funny, flimsy machines and the funny, gesticulating figures make for exceptional visual drama.
