Jean Mermoz (1901- 1936) was a French aviator, viewed as a hero by other pilots such as Antoine de Saint-Exupery, and in his native France, where many schools bear his name. He first met Antoine de Saint Exupery when they both worked at the Compagnie GÈnÈrale AÈropostale. In 1933, Mermoz was appointed inspector general by Air France. That same year, he arrived in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where he and Saint-ExupÈry both worked for Aeroposta Argentina, which would later become AerolÌneas Argentinas. Mermoz and Saint-ExupÈry flew many dangerous flights for the then new air company. Unfortunately during a flight on December 7, 1936 Mermoz was lost at sea. The second section of the sale contained photographs, posters and other graphic ephemera about the Bleriot Type XI plane. including one of these actual planes dubbed "Traversee de la Manche" from 1909. There is a last section of the sale marked 2eme Partie which contained more French aviation photographs, posters and ephemera. 385 lots in the complete sale. All illustrated in color.
