Review this book!
A biography of French pilot Louis Bleriot who, in 1909, became the first person to fly an airplane across the English Channel. This picture book tells of the very first time Bleriot saw an airship, his quest to build his own flying machine, his many disastrous attempts to learn how to fly a plane, and finally of his triumphant flight into history. Color illustrations accompany the text. Winner of the 1984 Caldecott Medal.
