MARC BOMBENONRENOWNED AVIATORS IN HISTORY THAT YOU SHOULDÂ KNOW


Through Marc Bombenon’s involvement and his calling interest, you can get to know his interest in aviation. Mr. Marc’s interest in aviation prompted him to provide you with a list of renowned aviators in history. There are many distinguished aviators all over the world; however, there a few notable figures that every aviation fan should know about. Marc has combined some list of them for you. Firstly, you have Jean-Francois Pilatre de Rozier, who was a French gentleman he is believed by many historians that he was the first modern aviator. He wasn’t flying a plane, though. Jean-Fracois was the first man to every free-fly in a hot air balloon. His first flight took place in November of 1783. He was a bold man, willing to go to new heights to chase his dreams of flying. In an unfortunate turn of events, Jean-Francois was all the first person to pass due to aviation as well. He lost his life during an attempt to fly across the English Channel in his hot air balloon.


The second renowned aviator is Amelia Earhart (Lady Lindy), who, in the year of 1932, became the first woman to fly (unaccompanied) across the Atlantic Ocean. Three years later, in 1935, she became the first to operate continuously from Honolulu to Oakland. Just two years later, Amelia attempted to do what was then considered unthinkable and started a flight around the world. Sadly, she disappeared over the Pacific Ocean and was never heard from again. She is one of the greatest aviators that you would not want to miss in the list of renowned aviators of all the time in history. Chuck Yeager is another famous individual in the history of aviation who was known as the daredevil of test piloting. He became the first man to fly faster than the speed of sound successfully. This guy was also known for his contribution to the testing of one of the first experimental rocket-powered airplanes.


The fourth individual in Marc Bombenon’s list is James (Jimmy) Doolittle, who was also another speed demon and daredevil. At the age of fifteen years, he built his glider and jumped off of a cliff. Not surprisingly, he crashed terribly, but that did not deter him. Later in life, he set several records for flight speeds and made considerable contributions to instrument flying. However, his claim to fame was the Doolittle Raid, an air raid over Tokyo in April 1942. He led sixteen bombers off of the rolling deck of an aircraft on a mission to Japan. You can view the biography of Marc Bombenon to see his activities in the aviation industry; however, before finishing up, he includes Charles Lindbergh (Lucky Lindy) in his list as the last renown character. This guy was the first man to cross the Atlantic Ocean alone. In May 1927, his solo flight took him from New York to Paris, and directly into the hearts of millions. Marc has written more on aviation that shows his interest in aviation, and you can see more from Marc Bombenon on Behance.
