Competitors will actually fly across
English Channel." That's not bad, eh?
Could you add, um, "Foreign
newspapers, please copy"?
That's already done there
at the bottom of the page.
- Here are some more invitations.
- Good.
You know, between these
invitations and the newspapers,
flying man in the world.

Nom de chien!
250,000 francs?

Read it, please.
"His Imperial Majesty
the Kaiser commands.. .
the- the London-Paris air race.
You will make
arrangements accordingly."
