"On May 8, 1927 Charles Nungesser left Le Bourget airfield in France with Captain Francois Coli, his
navigator. The plane, a Levasseur P.L.8 biplane, painted with his World War I insignia of a black heart, two burning candles, a coffin,
and skull and cross bones, set out over the Atlantic ocean. Lieutenant Charles Nungesser, Captain Coli, and their plane, the
Oiseau Blanc (White Bird), were never officially seen again."
Quotation from the
