Fact of the day
At 4:41 in the morning Louis Blériot takes off from Les Baraques, near Calais, in his frail 25-horsepower Blériot XI monoplane and 37 minutes later sets down beside Dover Castle: the first crossing of the English Channel by aeroplane. He won the Daily Mail’s £1,000 prize and, as the papers put it, England was no longer an island.
