Some highlights of the Paris Air Show

Abstract

Fifty years ago ,on 21st May 1927, Charles Lindbergh landed on this very field, Le Bourget, after having made the first non‐stop Atlantic crossing from New York to Paris. Several days earlier, Nungesser and Coli met their tragic end in attempting the flight from Paris to New York, an exploit that Costes and Bellonte succeeded in making only three years later.
