Question

THE ALBATROSS


It is the morning of June 12, 1979. Bryan Allen, 26, from California, is pedalling an airplane. Pedalling an airplane? Yes, the Gossamer Albatross, the first muscle-powered airplane to cross the English Channel. A journey of over 22 miles, from Folkestone in England to Cape Gris-Nez in France, in two hours and forty-nine minutes. A ship is following the Albatross along the way. They are talking over the radio.
“Wind is blowing against you, Allen. You are losing altitude,” informs the operator in the ship.
“Yes, I noticed that, too. I am trying to, pedal faster. Please, inform me if the altitude changes.”
“You’re coming down, Allen, you’re getting too close to the water.”
“I’m trying. The altimeter is showing 5 feet from the surface of the water.”
“That’s not enough. You have to be around 10 feet.”
The Albatross sinks to only 6 inches over the water. Somehow, Allen pedals fast enough to climb again to 10 feet. Finally, he arrives to Cape Gris-Nez. Newspapers, radio and television tell of his historic flight.
