Raymond Vanier : ウィキペディア英語版 | Raymond Vanier Raymond Vanier (6 August 1895 - 15 August 1965) was a pioneering French aviator. Vanier played a key role in the development of French and Spanish civil aviation, despite being less well-known to the general public than Jean Mermoz, Henri Guillaumet or Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. == Career == Vanier was born in Orléans. During the First World War, he began as an NCO in the artillery, transferring to become a fighter pilot and gaining a strong reputation as well as becoming highly decorated. After WWI, Vanier was hired as a pilot for the newly-developing airlines of Pierre-Georges Latécoère, who was based in Toulouse, establishing connections to the French Colonies. These lines later became known as Aéropostale and Vanier is considered a pioneer of their night postal services. Vanier joined “Latécoère” on the 3 June 1919. He became its station manager in Málaga, and then in Barcelona. In the same year, he opened up Spanish routes and subsequently he set up connections to South America, beginning in 1927. He ended his career as head of the postal department of Air France in 1948. Vanier broke the record for emergency landings, saving a number of his comrades. He is mentioned with humour in a biography of Saint-Exupéry, arriving at the scene of one of the latter’s many crashes. Raymond Vanier is buried in the cemetery of Père-Lachaise (Division 3) (Photos on Flickr). The routes he instigated have continued to operate in Spain, Morocco, the Sahara, and throughout South America.
