Louis Bleriot
Louis Bleriot was a man from France who was really interested in airplanes a long, long time ago. He wanted to be the first person to fly across the English Channel, which is a big body of water between France and England. A lot of people didn't believe he could do it, but he kept trying anyway.
Finally, on July 25th, 1909, Louis got into his airplane (which was called a "monoplane") and took off from France. He flew for about 37 minutes and then landed safely in England. This was a really big deal because nobody had ever flown that far before, and it showed that airplanes could be used for travel between countries.
Louis Bleriot became really famous after that and even designed and built more airplanes. He is still remembered today for his bravery and determination to make history in the world of aviation.
