Britain's eagle-faced Philip Wills, the oldest (52) pilot in the meet, soared off with the overall combined championship in a British-built Sky. Runner-Up Gerard Pierre of France, the meet's youngest (22) contestant, broke down and wept. Slowly knocking the ashes from his pipe, Soarer Wills peered down through his spectacles and said: "My boy, you have plenty of time ahead of you to become champion...
