https://www.earlyaviators.com/eprevost.htm
'"1911, Maurice Prévost made third place in the Betheny military air contest, and won the altitude section.
1911, from the Reims / Champagne airfield, he reached 3.200 mètres (10000 ft) breaking the world record with a passenger.
1913, during the Reims grand-meeting, (the Gordon-Bennett cup which he won), he broke the speed world record at 200 km/h (108 Kts) for one hour.
Prevost was made "Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur" and in 1948, the army promoted him as an officer."
From wiki:
The Deperdussin Monocoque was an early racing aircraft built by the Aéroplanes Deperdussin, a French aircraft manufacturer started in 1911 and reorganized as the Société Pour L'Aviation et ses Dérivés (SPAD) in 1913. It is so named because of the method of construction of its fuselage. The aircraft is noted for winning the Gordon Bennett Trophy in 1912 and 1913, and for raising the world speed record for aircraft to 130 mph (210 km/h).
Photo measures approx.: 7" x 5"
