Charles Lindberg was the first to cross the English Channel in an airplane , The Spirit of St.Louis .
Louis Bleriot
There are two reasons for his fame. He was the first person to cross the English Channel in an airplane. He designed and built the 1909 Bleriot airplane. It was a single wing design, unusual when most planes of the day were biplanes. It had a top speed of 10 miles per hour. He was the first person to build a successful single wing plane, a monoplane. He proved the success by his flight across the English Channel.
The first was Louis Bleriot in 1909. He flew a plane of his own design. He won a prize put up by the Daily Mail, I think it was.
Hi The first cross Channel flight was successfully flown in 1909 by Louis Bleriot in a 25 horsepower Bleriot VI monoplane from Les Baraques near Calais in France. To Dover Castle in England. The flight across the Channel took 37 minutes. I hope this will help you.
