From wiki: Jules Védrines was an early French aviator, notable for being the first pilot to fly at more than 100 mph and for winning the Gordon Bennett Trophy race in 1912.
From wiki: Alfred LeBlanc - LeBlanc was first interested in ballooning, rapidly becoming a successful competitor in the races organised by the Aéro-Club de France. He was placed second in the 1909 Gordon Bennett Cup for balloons.
In 1910, flying a Gnome-engined Blériot XI, he won the Circuit de l'Est, covering the 805 km (500 mi) in 12hr 1 min 1 sec, an average speed of 66.99 km/h.
In November he represented France in the Gordon Bennett Trophy race for airplanes, held in New York, but misjudged a turn on his last lap and crashed: had he not done so he would have won the competition, which was won by Claude Grahame-White, also flying a Blériot.
