We hope you enjoy this comprehensive biography of one of the great pioneers of world aviation. The first man to cross the majestic Alps in a fragile airplane in 1910.

On Septembre 23, 2010 we will remember 100 years of the first crossing of the Alps in a plane. With a great demonstration of courage and determination Jorge Chavez steers his plane to the sky, wishing to overcome this great mountain wall represented by the Alps. Victorious he inspired mankind since the dawn of aviation, at the beginning of the twentieth century, with his famous words: "Higher Always Higher ".
One of the most important milestones in the history of world aviation, comparable to the crossing of the English Channel that brought two countries together and the crossing of the Atlantic that joined two continents; the first aerial crossing of the Alps represented the defeat of the barrier imposed by altitude. Human beings with their wit and skill overcome the geographical and natural obstacles: Water, distance and altitude.
