Birdman Bryan Allen flew into the record books by cycling across the English Channel
Birdman Bryan Allen flew into the record books by cycling across the English Channel. The saddle-sore Californian pedalled his magnificent machine over in less than three hours to make the first non-powered flight to France. It was worth every muscle tugging minute. For the historic flight earned Bryan a £ 100, 000 prize offered as a challenge by British industrialist Henry Kremer. Bryan, 26, achieved his extraordinary feat on an amazing collection of tubes, glue, tape and a monster 96ft. wingspan christened Gossamer Albatross. In perfect windless conditions he skimmed at seven miles an hour ten feet above the 22 miles of water separating Folkestone from Cap Gria Nex.

Birdman Bryan Allen Soars Across the English Channel on His Magnificent Flying Bicycle
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In June 1979, Birdman Bryan Allen etched his name in the annals of aviation history as he embarked on a daring adventure that seemed straight out of a fantasy novel. With unwavering determination and an audacious contraption, this Californian cyclist pedalled his way into the record books by becoming the first person to fly non-powered across the English Channel.

The colossal wingspan of 96 feet stretched above him as he glided gracefully at ten feet above water level. Against all odds and propelled solely by human power, he achieved an impressive speed of seven miles per hour.
