JQGHf] FEBRUARY 4, 1911. 354 AERO CLUB DE FRANCE PILOT AVIATORS. AN extraordinary commentary upon the gigantic strides made by aviation during the past two years is afforded by the following table of aviators to whom the pilot-aviator's certificate of the Aero Club of France has been granted. We have compiled this table from statistics published by our French contemporary, IlAerophtle, and it gives particulars of the 354 pilots who have graduated in France. The regulations for the issue of these certificates were drawn up on December 3rd, 1908, on the suggestion of M. Georges Besancon, Secretary of the Aero Club of France, and the first ba»ch of eight were issued on January 7th, 1909, the recipients being MM. Bleriot, Delagrange, Robert Esnault-Pelterie, Henry Farman, Orville Wright, Wilbur Wright, Capt. Ferber and Santos Dumont. By the end of 1909 the number of certificates issued was only 18, but during the following year 327 were issued, and during the first four days of this year another 9 were issued, making the total number 354. Of that number, the majority are naturally claimed by France, the actual figure being 272. Russia, curiously enough, comes next with 27, and Great Britain third with 19. Then comes Holland with 7, U.S.A. and Germany with 4 each, Italy and Peru whh 3 each, Poland and Switzerland with 2 each, and Brazil, Belgium, Sweden, Alsace, Luxemburg, Roumania, Turkey, Chile, Uruguay, Australia and Japan, with I each. Biplanes have 188 certificates to their credit, Henry Farman ooming first with 81, Sommer second with 30, then Voisin with 26, Wright I7i Maurice Farman 9. Savary 6, Goupy 5, Breguet 5, CurtiSS 2, Sancftez-Besa 2, Bayard-Clement 1, Caudron 1, Obre I, Poulain Orange 1, Zodiac 1. Monoplanes have been the means of securing 166 certificates, Bleriots taking the leading position with 93, Antoinette second with 37, then Hanriot with 15, Koechlin 5, Demoiselle 4, R.E.P. 3, Tellier 3, Nieuport 2, Saulnier 1, Train 1, Barillon I, J.A.P. I. Four ladies figure in this list, Madame de la Roche, Madame Marthe Niel, Malle. Marie Marvingt and Mdlle. Jane Herveu, that being the order in which the certificates were granted. The youngest of the aviators is Marcel Hanriot, who will be 17 on June 8th next, while the " father" of French aviators is General Bonnier, who was 53 last December. Thirteen of the aviators mentioned in the list—those marked with a (t)—have met their death in connection with aviation. Country Date of Birth. Machine! Qualified. £ Acquaviva (Paul-Vic.)
