Humm? Can this be correct? "John Moisant quickly became a celebrity. He designed his own planes (including the first metal aircraft). He piloted the very first flight over the English Channel." It must be true because I'm reading it on the Internet!! And all this time history has recorded that Louis Bleriot made the first flight across the channel. Maybe the author should stick to sports triva and stay away from aviation history - or, at the very least do better research!
