The first flyable prototype of the Antoinette was designed by the engineer and artist Leon Levavasseur and constructed and built by Mr Gastanbide and Mengin in 1906.
There were eight different designs of which IV - VIII were good flyers. Already in 1908 Hubert Latham made an attempt to cross the English Channel using an Antoinette type IV. Later in 1909 Mr Latham made a second unsuccesful attempt to cross the English Channel this time in an Antoinette VII.
He later flew the VII at Reims, France, winning the altitude prize, and in the U.S. across the Golden Gate, at San Francisco, California, USA. This aircraft is on display in the Science Museum in London. Our model is based on this A/C. |
