The transatlantic question
Charles Lindbergh’s 33-hour flight from New York to Paris in
1927 made aviation history. Less known is the return flight
to New York by two Frenchmen three years later. Taking just
over three hours longer, Costes and Bellonte made an
equally exciting journey from Paris to New York in their
plane, the Question Mark. The first question they faced,
Captain Costes remembered in an article at the time, was
“Would the plane lift off the ground?” ‘That was our
greatest concern. We had 5,200 litres of gasoline on board.’
This fear passed quickly but was followed by other hazards.
They ran into three storms. The third, and worst of all, was
over Nova Scotia, in Canada. ‘In order to avoid it we had to
fly 100 miles out of our way. Time was passing and every
minute meant the loss of more of our precious fuel.’
They had another problem: ‘The sky was overcast, it was
raining and we had to fly below those rain clouds.
Sometimes they were extremely low which meant they had
to fly as close to the water as ten metres.
‘There were many exciting moments during our trip, but I
think the greatest thrill came when we first saw the coast
of North America,’ said Costes. He decided that three was
their lucky number. They had survived three storms – and
at 3 a.m. French time, they saw land. But their adventures
weren’t over.
Suddenly, a mountain appeared out of the mist. ‘We were
between the steep banks of a river. It was a tight place.
Bellonte was at the controls at that time and he had to
