In 1908 Lord Northcliffe offered a prize of ￡1000 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 the 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 latest 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 'Antonette'. It looks 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.
