French engineer and aviator (1872-1936) who made the first crossing of a large body of water in a heavier-than-air craft when he flew across the English Channel in 1909. TLS signed “L. Bleriot,” one page, 8 x 10.5, illustrated Bleriot-Aeronautique letterhead, August 3, 1929. Letter to Monsieur Bardel, in part (translated): "I am enclosing a few cards which I would be grateful if you would have one of your pilots mail in England. Thank you in advance, and please accept, my dear Bardel, my best regards." In very good to fine condition, with show-through from old tape repairs to edge tears.
From the personal collection of a lifelong collector, teacher, and traveler with a passion for world history. His collecting years ranged from the 1970s to the present day, meaning that several of the premier pieces have not been on the market in decades.
