Aviation competition at Rheims, 1909, Farman, Latham & Paulh
Page from the Bystander reporting on the record flights made at Rheims Aviation Meeting in 1909. showing the winner, Henri Farman who flew 116 miles in 3 hours, 4 minutes, Hubert Latham who flew 96 miles in 2 hours 18 minutes and Paulhan who flew 81 miles in 2 hours 43 minutes. The Bystander comments, the progress of aviation is admitted to equal that of automobilism itself, and today we see the aeroplane as a practical means of locomotion. In a few years, flight will be in vogue all over the country, and to fly will be one of the commonplaces of daily life. The Grande Semaine d Aviation was intended to show French air superiority but it was in fact an American, Glen H. Curtiss, who won the Gordon Bennett race at the event. Date: 1909
