Critic Reviews
"Factually accurate, yes - but also a witty pictorial reincarnation of Bleriot's first experience of an airship.... There's dash, style, and economy here in both text and pictures." (Kirkus Reviews)
"Fact is turned into magic." (The New York Times Book Review)
"This book...recounts the persistence of a Frenchman, Louis Bleriot, to build a flying machine to cross the English Channel.... The text is succinct, caption-like in its directness and brevity.... The paintings...add the necessary texture and tone to this marriage. This is vintage Provensen." (School Library Journal)
