John Moisant

John Bevins Moisant (April 25, 1868 – December 31, 1910), known as the "King of Aviators," was an American aviator, aeronautical engineer, flight instructor, businessman, and revolutionary.〔Stoff, Joshua. 1996. Picture History of Early Aviation 1903-1913. P.72.〕〔Mortimer, Gavin. 2010. Chasing Icarus: The Seventeen Days in 1910 That Forever Changed American Aviation. P.58.〕〔McLean, Jacqueline. 2001. Women With Wings. P.23.〕〔American Aviation Historical Society Journal, Volumes 7-8.〕 As a pilot, he was the first to conduct passenger flights over a city, across the English Channel, from Paris to London, in the state of Mississippi, and the co-founder of a prominent flying circus, the Moisant International Aviators.〔Caire, Vincent P. 2012. Louisiana Aviation: An Extraordinary History in Photographs.〕〔American Aviation Historical Society Journal. 1984. Volumes 29-30.〕〔Simmons, Thomas E. 2013. A Man Called Brown Condor: The Forgotten History of an African American Fighter Pilot.〕
Moisant funded his aviation career with proceeds from business ventures in El Salvador, where he had led two failed revolutions and coup attempts against President Figueroa in 1907 and 1909.〔Mortimer, Gavin. 2010. Chasing Icarus: The Seventeen Days in 1910 That Forever Changed American Aviation P.59-62.〕
==Early life==

He was born in L'Erable, Illinois to Medore Moisant (1839-?) and Josephine Fortier (1841–1901).〔"United States Census, 1880," index and images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/MXVS-G6M : accessed 29 May 2013), John Moisant in entry for Medore Moisant, 1880.〕 Both parents were French-Canadian immigrants. His siblings include: George Moisant (1866–1927); Ann Marguerite Moisant (1877–1957); Matilde Moisant (1878–1964) who was the second American woman to receive her pilot's license; Alfred J. Moisant (c1862-1929); Louisa Josephine Moisant (1882–1957); and possibly Eunice Moisant (1890-?) who was born in Illinois. Alfred and Matilde were also aviators.〔Caire, Vincent P. 2012. Louisiana Aviation: An Extraordinary History in Photographs.〕
In 1880 the family was living in Manteno, Illinois and Moisant's father was working as a farmer. In the mid-1880s, the family moved to San Francisco, California.〔Mortimer, Gavin. 2010. Chasing Icarus: The Seventeen Days in 1910 That Forever Changed American Aviation P.59.〕
