First Flights (II) - Race to Cape Town (Dark Continent)...

Recommended Posts

I did a little research on the topic about France and Belgium Empires in Africa. I found that, it is in French but I reckon some of you do understand it 😏 ( I've just browsed it so far)

Sorry, Dominique, my knowledge of French ls limited to a few words such as  bon voyage... donated to English..🙂...

But, seriously, another great find! A forgotten part of history, especially in the context of African aviation...many detailed maps and full of vintage aircraft pictures. And, of course, the period of coverage, 1911-1940, is highly significant from the global perspective too...

(not sure, if the modern on-line translator tools can work on this...)

Most interesting, Dominique, many thanks for the link! Gives me a chance to brush up on my French 😉. On page 62 is a map from 1926, which shows their flight route from Algier in Morocco all the way across the continent down to Madagascar

Any attempt to stretch fuel is guaranteed to increase headwinds
