First to Cross the English Channel

Bleriot Monoplane
This was the first aircraft to cross the English Channel.  Louis Bleriot flew it in 1909.  The display aircraft is a full size replica built from factory blueprints by Mr. Ernest C. Hall of Warren, Ohio.  It was donated to the museum in 1969.

It had a Anzani 3-cylinder, 20 hp engine and flew at 45 mph, maximum.
