Best known for being the first to fly across the English Channel, crossing from Baraques to Dover on 25 July 1909 in a heavier-than-air machine. He claimed the £10,000 prize put up by Lord Northcliffe, owner of the Daily Mail, for the first cross-channel powered flight. Blériot later became an aircraft manufacturer of both combat and commercial aircraft.
