I believe it is many years since this aircraft was on public display; it is seen here in the store at Dugny. On 14-15 October 1927 two men, Dieudonné Costes and Joseph Le Brix, used it to fly across the South Atlantic Ocean, from Saint-Louis, Senegal, to Port Natal, Brazil. This was the first non-stop South Atlantic crossing by an aeroplane. The 2,100-mile (3,380 kilometre) flight took just over 18 hours. The aircraft had been named "Nungesser-Coli" in honour of the two pilots who disappeared while attempting to cross the Atlantic Ocean in Levasseur PL.8 "Oiseau Blanc" in May 1927.

Named after two airmen who disappeared in a transatlantic flight in May 1927.
