The Instruments Which Will Carry French Plane Across Ocean. An unusual photo, one of the first ever made which shows the instruments board of the Bernard single-motored plane "Yellow Bird", which piloted by Jean Assolant, Rene Lefevre, and Armeno Lotti Jr., will soon take off from here bound for Paris. It is upon these instruments that the swift certain flight to Paris of the fliers defends. May 27, 1929. (Photo by International Newsreel Photo).
