Clem Sohn, le célèbre homme oiseau a été présenté a la presse sur l'aérodrome de Buc en vue du meeting d'aviation de Vincennes (1937)

"Sohn's career came to an end on April 25, 1937, in Vincennes, France. Before taking off, Clem had remarked, "I feel as safe as you would in your grandmother's kitchen". But during his descent on that day, his parachute did not open. A crowd of 100,000 watched him frantically tug on the ripcord of his emergency chute, but that failed too, and Sohn, 26 years old, plunged to his death." [Wikipedia entry]
