Bernard is now in Saint Peter, here is some news.
Pierre Lenormand, Chief of logistics, and I, have 3
objectives:
Today, July 27th, we are expecting the venue of
Frederic Mitterrand, French Minister of Culture, to whom we will present our research, and the proof that L'Oiseau Blanc has crossed the Atlantic in May 1927, a fact which modifies the History of
Avuiation. We will also propose the idea to name Saint Peter's airport "Nungesser & Coli".
We also want to publish a book about Saint Peter and the islands. It has been lacking until now, so it is a necessary cultural action!
We need of course patience and tenacity to continue these investigations. We are also thinking of using Canadian and/or US material, to avoid transport costs. We make daily progress, also thanks to the kindness and trust of the people of Saint Peter, thanks a lot to all of you!
