Count Lambert's Great Flight

( Originally Published 1910 )

THE illustration opposite is from a direct photo-graph of the remarkable flight made by the Count Lambert from Juvisy to Paris on October 18th. In the picture we see the aeroplane circling round the Eiffel Tower at Paris.

The first official world's aviation record in England was achieved by M. Paulhan on November 6th at Esher. Under perfect weather conditions he sailed over the town and neighbouring fields, attaining a height of 977 feet. He thus beat Rougier's performance at Antwerp, when he rose to 885 feet.
