After half an hour of flight, Louis Blériot arrived in sight of the English coast. He gets lost for a moment in the fog, then asks the way to Dover to small fishing boats. Suddenly he saw a man waving a French flag in a crevice. Despite a rough landing, Blériot had just succeeded in crossing the English Channel!
