This document comes from his papers.<br />Houard went on to become one of the great names in the aviation press publishing Les Ailes from 1921 to 1960.</p><p><strong>A touching document on the competition of little pioneers to inaugurate the world's first aerodrome at one of the very first international airshows.</strong><br />The kite contest was no mere anecdote either as the wind blew hard and the pilots were unable to fly as much as they would have liked. Impatient and frustrated spectators enthusiastically attended the contest.</p><p><em>Francis Bedei et Max Joy. L'Histoire de Port-Aviation 1909-1919. Le Mée-sur-Seine Amatteis 1993.</em></p>
