Image description

Aviation pioneer Geo Chavez on the pilot's seat of his airplane at the Farman school of aviation in France in 1910. On September 23, 2010, 23 years old Peruvian Geo Chavez carries out the first flight across the Alps over the Simplon mountain pass to Domodossola, Italy, in his Bleriot monoplane (type “Circuit de l'est”). After taking off in Brig in the canton of Valais, Switzerland, he flew across the Simplon according to schedule, but crashed from a height of ten meters and died four days later at the hospital of Domodossola.
