Maurice Noguès
Rich saw a plaque on a hanger at Le Bourget commemorating the 1st commercial night flight in 1923, by Maurice Noguès.
Here's a clunky translation about this: Maurice Noguès (1889-1934) is one of the pioneers of the French aviation.. Military pilot during the 1st World War (1914-1918), he enters the Compagnie Franco-Roumaine (French-Romanian Company) after the conflict. This company ensures the liaisons between Paris and Bucarest ((Paris, Strasbourg, Prague, Budapest, Vienna, Belgrade, Bucarest). In September 1923, he realises two first night liaisons between Paris and Strasbourg then between Belgrade and Bucarest.
In 1922 he is one of the founders of a company, the Compagnie Internationale de Navigation Aérienne. He was one of the early people to figure out how to make a business of airplane flights. A key principle was to schedule flights in advance.
