In 1908 Lord Northcliffe offered a prize of $1,000 to the first man who would fly across the English Channel. Over a year passed before the first attempt was made. On July 19th, 1909, in the early morning, Hubert Latham took off from the French coast in his plane the 'Antoinette IV.' He had travelled only seven miles across the Channel when his engine failed and he was forced to land on sea. The 'Antoinette' floated on the water until Latham was picked up by a ship.
Two days later, Louis Bleriot arrived near Calais with a plane called 'No. XI'. Bleriot had been making planes since 1905 and this was his latters model. A week before, he had completed a successful overland flight during which he covered twenty-six miles. Latham, however, did not give up easily. He, too, arrived near Calais on the same day with a new 'Antoinette'. It looked as if there would be an exciting race across the Channel. Both planes were going to take off on July 25th, but Latham failed to get up early enough, After making a short test flight at 4,15 a.m., Bleriot set off half an hour later. His great flight lasted thirty-seven minutes. When he landed near Dover, the first person to greet him was a local policeman. Latham made another attempt a week later and got within half a mile of Dover, but he was unlucky again. His engine failed and he landed on the sea for the second time.

The angle of Latham
I have a amuse experience at the last time flight race. In 1908, the man, called Lord Northcliffe, offered a prize of 1,000 dollars to the first person who would fly across English Channel. Over a year passed I decided to attempt the race. On July 19th, 1909 in the early morning, I took off from the French coast in my plane called Antoinette IV. When I had travelled only seven miles across the Channel, the engine broke down and I was forced to land on the sea. Antoinette with I floated on the water until I was rescued by a ship. Louis Bleriot arrived near Calais with a plane called No.XI. Bleriot had been making planes since 1905 and this was his lattes model. A week before, he had completed a successful overland flight during which he covered twenty-six miles. I did not give up easily and arrived near Calais on the same day with a new Antoinette. It was an exciting race across the Channel. We both planes were going to take off on July 25th, unfortunately I was not on time because of failing to get up early. Bleriot had made a short test flight at 4:15 am and set off half an hour later. Finally, I learnt that his great flight lasted. When he had successfully landed near Dover. The person to greet him was a local policeman. I made another attempt a week later though and got within half a mile of Dover, however, after my engine failed, it was the second time to land on the sea.
