On July 25, 1909, Louis Bleriot set out on an epic flight across the English Channel, marking the first long-distance flight over water and the first air crossing of a national boundary. Bleriot's triumph came after years of experiments with primitive flying machines and innumerable crashes - a story of perseverance and ingenuity as memorable as that of his competitors, the Wrights. Witness Bleriot's story through the present-day quest of his grandson to repeat the heroic cross-channel flight.
