Julien Félix, c. 1910-1914

Major Julien-Alexandre Félix [1] (March 2, 1869 in Limoges - June 17, 1914 in Chartres[2]) was the director of manoeuvres in the French Military Aviation School, École militaire de Pau.[3] He set the altitude record on August 5, 1911 in Étampes in France by climbing to 11,330 feet in 63 minutes, breaking the record of Georges Legagneux.[4]

Félix died while testing a 1912 Drzewiecki Canard monoplane built by Stefan Drzewiecki.
