~The Gossamer Albatross, -
named for its delicate body
and outsize wings, crossed
'. the channel at a point where
it is 36 kilometres across in
' two hours and 49 minutes,

Allen's legs.
“ He pusiied on pedals,
- rotating a bicycle-like chain
‘which’ in turn twirled a
“propeller on the craft’s rear.
Once in France, he
. emerged drenched in sweat
from the stifling cockpit and
quoted the operation's
motto: “Ef the wind don't
"blow and the chain don't
break ... we'll make it
- across.” ;

though the wind did blow a
