Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"This book . . . recounts the persistence of a Frenchman, Louis, to build a flying machine to cross the English Channel. . . . The text is succinct, caption-like in its directness and brevity. . . . The paintings . . . add the necessary texture and tone to this marriage. This is vintage Provensen". School Library Journal.

Synopsis:

A dramatic retelling of the historic flight across the English Channel by aviation pioneer Louis Bleriot, a flight made possible by his persistent efforts and his family's loving support.
