First Non-Stop Flight Over The Mediterranean

[Moses03]

99 years ago on Sept 23, 1913, Frenchman Roland Garros completed the first non-stop flight across the Mediterranean in a Morane-Saulnier monoplane.

Covering 453 miles, Garros landed in Tunisia 7 hrs and 53 min after departing St. Raphael, France.

Quite an achievment for 1913 era technology!
