23 years old Peruvian Geo Chavez flies across the Simplon mountain pass to Domodossola, Italy, in the first air crossing of the Alps with his Bleriot monoplane (type “Circuit de l'est”) on September 23, 1910. After taking off in Brig 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.
