Blériot XI[]

On August 19, 1913, A.Pégoud was the very first pilot to parachute. Leaving the Châteaufort aerodrome in Yvelines, he abandoned an old Blériot XI above the Geneste estate, sacrificed for the occasion. With the inventor Frédéric Bonnet who developed this parachute system fixed to the fuselage, they demonstrated the effectiveness of such a device in the event of damage in the air.

Potez 25.2[]

Registration F-AHDC Potez 25.2 s/n 1 c/n ? Built in 1925, it was used by several famous French pilots (Ludovic Arrachart, Georges Pelletier d'Oisy, Lucien Girier) for long-distance air raid (Paris-Constantinople-Bucarest-Moscow-Varsovia-Copenhagen-Paris in two days (after that, the tricolor band was painted as seen here) and some promotional flight (around the Mediterranean Sea in 48 hours)...
On the 25th of September, 1925, French pilot Paul Tarascon and another pilot named Favreau took off to attempt an endurance record and at the same time test the Potez's suitability for the proposed Paris to New York attempt (the famous Orteig prize for a non-stop flight). During the night, trying to escape bad weather and to find exactly their position, they hurt a tree and the Potez crashed in flames. Paul Tarascon was seriously burnt and left the job (he died half a century later, in 1977). The original Tarascon's navigator, François Coli eventually teamed with Charles Nungesser in their 8 May 1927 attempt aboard L'Oiseau Blanc. But they never arrived in New York and no trace of them was ever found, creating one of aviation's great mysteries. Charles Lindbergh succeeded on 20 and 21 May.
