Paul de Lesseps
Paul de Lesseps was an aero inventor, whom we have as a Gentleman located at Avenue Victor Hugo, Paris.[1]
We have him as being born 13 August 1880, one of thirteen children of Ferdinand de Lesseps, "the famous Suez Canal engineer", along with Jacques de Lesseps, among others. Paul has an unknown death date and the possibility that he was killed in World War I. Paul was the first aviator to fly in the region of Nottingham.[2]
Much phraseology, and some specific points of information, are to be cross-considered between various sources. Elsewhere, we have Ferdinand as having seventeen children, for instance, and how much Ferdinand was an engineer, or rather a diplomat involved in arranging the canal, these are matters in question. Paul de Lesseps at earlyaviators.com is to be viewed critically. On the Internet more broadly, we have found at least one photograph, associated with Paul de Lesseps, which Wikipedia gives as that of Jacques de Lesseps. We would trust Wikipedia more than we would trust a broad pool of images found via Internet search.
Bertrand-Marie de Lesseps, and Marguerite de Lesseps (wife-then-widow of Bertrand-Marie), and Ismaël de Lesseps and Mathieu de Lesseps and Jacques de Lesseps are all factoring into our data, variably, as filers of patents, as pioneer aviators, or otherwise, and we have them all as connected.
