King of the Air
Louis Paulhan, King of the Air, Louis Paulhan was literally "on top of the world". At the Los Angeles Air Meet he had shattered the world altitude record by soaring to 4,165 feet above sea level, surpassing his own prior world record of about 1900 feet, established the previous month in Europe. Paulhan had sailed higher than any man on earth in a "heavier-than-air machine", and was awarded $10,000 in prize money and the title "King of the Air" for his efforts.
