一.条款内容

Arthur Charles Hubert Latham was born in Paris on January 10th, 1883. His family was wealthy: his father was a trader of indigo and other commodities and his mother came from a banking family. His father, who had English family background, died when Hubert was two years old and he was raised in a cosmopolitan environment. He spoke fluent English and German and studied in Oxford before his military service. He was a sportsman and tried several sports, including hunting, ballooning and speedboat racing. He also made an expedition exploring Ethiopia and travelled to the far East.

In 1908, he became interested in flying and contacted Antoinette Company of Leon Le Vasseur, where he learned to fly and became the company's chief pilot. As we all know, he once competed with Louis Blriot who would be the first person to fly across the English Channel, but due to engine problems, he failed after landing on the water.

He was the undisputed master of handling the difficult Antoinette monoplanes. He beat the world altitude record a couple of times and scored several spectacular successes, for example at the 1909 Reims, Blackpool and Berlin meetings. His looks, manners and lifestyle made him an international celebrity. His flying prompted long-time aviation journalist Harry Harper to almost fifty years later write that 'I do not think there was ever a finer pilot'.

However, there were also lacklustre meetings where neither the Antoinettes nor Latham performed well, such as the 1909 Frankfurt and Port-Aviation meetings and the 1910 Heliopolis meeting. In 1910 and 1911 he participated in several more meetings and made a tour of the USA, where he famously shot two ducks from his airplane with a shotgun, but the Antoinettes were getting outdated and he never achieved the same level of success again.
