Louis Blériot, French Aviator

Louis Charles Joseph Blériot (July 1, 1872 - August 1, 1936) was a French aviator, inventor and engineer. He developed the first practical headlamp for cars and established a profitable business manufacturing them, using much of the money he made to finance his attempts to build a successful aircraft. In 1909 he became world famous for making the first flight across the English Channel in a heavier than air aircraft. He was also the first to make a working, powered, piloted monoplane, and the founder of a successful aircraft manufacturing company. In 1927, Blériot, long retired from flying, was present to welcome Charles Lindbergh when he landed at Le Bourget field completing his transatlantic flight. The two men, separated in age by 30 years, had each made history by crossing famous bodies of water. He remained active in the aviation business until his death in 1936 from a heart attack at the age 64. Bain News Service image, circa 1900-25.
