112 years ago today, September 23, 1913 (August 23, 1913 in the lunar calendar), humans flew over the Mediterranean Sea for the first time. Roland Garros flew successfully from France to Tunisia in 7 hours and 53 minutes. On September 23, French pilot Roland Garros flew 347 kilometers (273 kilometers in the sea and air) from Frejus near Cannes to Bizerte near Tunisia. Garros has long planned to fly across the Mediterranean. Although his friends tried to dissuade him, Garros decided to give it a try, and he even refused an offer from the French naval authorities to send a team of torpedo boats to escort him in case he was forced to fall into the water. At 6 o'clock on the morning of the 23rd, he flew south in a Morani-Solny single-engine engine equipped with a Gnomy machine. The weather seemed clear and the visibility was ideal, but it was heading against the wind. Between 7 and 8 a.m., there was radio reporting that he had passed there, and he landed in Vise at 1:45 p.m. with only 1.3 gallons of gasoline left. Garros's direct flight was the longest sea flight completed at the time, establishing his world honor as an outstanding pilot. He won some of the most famous long-distance competitions in Europe. He also participated in flying sports meetings in many countries and set some altitude records. This amazing achievement adds one more achievement to his fruitful aviation achievements.
