Blériot XI F-AZPG Pégoud v1.0

This folder contains a repaint for the Bleriot XI by Wings42 in the colors of Bleriot XI-2 F-AZPG, a replica Bleriot XI, based with the Amicale Jean-Baptiste Salis in La Ferte Alias in France. Adolphe Pégoud, whose name is on the wings, was a French pilot and flight instructor who became the first fighter ace in WW1. He was the first pilot to make a parachute jump from an airplane, and was the second pilot to fly a loop. He died when he was shot down by one of his prewar German students on 31 August 1915 at the age of 26. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom
