Henri Biard's in-flight service

摘要

During 1919's cross-Channel steam packet strike, on 30 September Henri Biard's passengers bound for Le Havre included a wealthy Belgian financier, Monsieur Lowenstein, who regarded the worsening weather anxiously. To reassure him, he was given a lifebelt (which probably had the opposite effect) while to keep out the cold Hubert Scott-Paine - ever unorthodox -passed him a flask of rum.
