This is the wonderfully exciting story of Jean Pierre Blancard. Some years ago, Cavalcade's historian, Dr Frank Monaghan of Yale University discovered a little known story of amazing significance in the development of civilisation, and of particular interest to Americans. It is an example of this nation's pioneering spirit in the achievements of aviation, and is about the first successful aerial flight in America.
