Today, back in 1907, is another record breaking and setting day in history. On this day back then, Henry Farman flew his Voisin Farman I flying machine just under 2,530 feet, breaking the world distance record. (AYY). Henri Farman was of British origin(the family was British though he was born in Paris) but took French nationality in 1937. He was a pilot, aviator and aircraft manufacturer with his brother Maurice.
