1911 Paris to Madrid air race
The 1911 Paris to Madrid air race was a three-stage international flying competition, the first of several European air races of that summer. The winner was French aviator Jules Védrines, although his win, and the entire race, was overshadowed by a notorious fatal crash at takeoff.
== Organization ==
The air race was organized by the French newspaper ''Le Petit Parisien'', at least partly inspired by the success of its competitor ''Le Matin'' in sponsoring the ''Circuit de l'Est'' air race of August 1910, and profiting from its increased circulation.〔Contact! The Story of the Early Aviators, by Henry Villard, page 127〕
The first stage was to begin at the French airfield at Issy-les-Moulineaux and end to the south-southwest in Angoulême; the difficult second stage from Angoulême over the Pyrenees to the seaside Spanish town of San Sebastián; the final leg of about from San Sebastián over the Sierra de Guadarrama range to Madrid. The first prize was 100,000 francs, with 30,000 francs as second prize and 15,000 francs for third place 〔(The Paris-Madrid Race )''Flight'' 6 May 1911〕
