MERMOZ, Jean L.A.S. “Jean,” Toulouse, Sunday [February 23, 1930], to his “Beloved Mother”; 1½ pages, in-4. Seaplane test flights from Saint-Laurent-de-la-Sénanque to the Étang de Berre. He has returned from Perpignan, “where I had been for two days to test my aircraft, which is now fully ready. But it has been snowing, and the tramontane has been blowing violently for eight days now. It’s impossible to even launch the aircraft. Mr. Daurat has therefore decided that I will conduct the tests in Marseille, and we will take the aircraft to Berre at the first sign of calmer weather. In any case, I must carry out the first maritime mail flight, scheduled for February 17, departing from Saint-Louis at 10 p.m.”… Source: - Jean Mermoz (1901–1936); - Gabrielle Gillet-Mermoz (1880–1955); - Then passed down through the family
