Wiki : L'Oiseau blanc est un avion biplan qui a disparu le 8 mai 1927 avec ses deux pilotes, les Français Charles Nungesser et François Coli, lors de la première tentative de traversée aérienne de l'océan Atlantique Nord sans escale entre Paris et New York. Moins de deux semaines après leur disparition, l'Américain Charles Lindbergh est le premier à réussir cette traversée, mais dans l'autre sens, à bord du Spirit of St. Louis.

La disparition de l'Oiseau blanc est considérée comme l'un des plus grands mystères de l'histoire de l'aviation1. De nombreuses hypothèses ont circulé sur le sort de l'appareil et de ses deux aviateurs, mais la plus communément admise est qu'ils ont été pris dans un grain ou dans le brouillard et précipités dans l'océan2. Toutefois, plusieurs enquêtes effectuées à partir des années 1980 laissent supposer que l'Oiseau blanc aurait atteint Terre-Neuve et se serait écrasé sur cette île ou vers Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon3, ou encore près de la côte du Maine, aux États-Unis.

Depuis 2015, la thèse de l'amerrissage de l'appareil près de Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon est désormais reconnue4et5. Ces recherches ont reçu le prix Paul Tissandier de la fédération aéronautique internationale, en 20156.

L'Oiseau blanc a laissé un important héritage : il est évoqué dans quelques films, chansons et musées. De nombreuses rues, en France, portent les noms de Nungesser ou Coli. Une statue ainsi qu'un mémorial ont été érigés à l'aéroport de Paris-Le Bourget, leur point de départ, et à Étretat7, où ils ont été aperçus pour la dernière fois depuis la France.

Étretat is a commune in the Seine-Maritime department in Normandie region in north-western France. It is a tourist and farming town situated about 32 km (20 mi) northeast of Le Havre, at the junction of the D 940, D 11 and D 139 roads. It's located on the coast of the Pays de Caux area.

Étretat is best known for its cliffs, including three natural arches and the pointed needle. These cliffs and the associated resort beach attracted artists including Eugène Boudin, Gustave Courbet and Claude Monet, and were featured prominently in the 1909 Arsène Lupin/Lupin the Third novel The Hollow Needle by Maurice Leblanc.

Two of the three famous arches are seen from the town, the Porte d'Aval, and the Porte d'Amont. The Manneporte is the third and the biggest one, and cannot be seen from the town. The GR 21 long-distance hiking path (Le Havre to Le Tréport) passes through the town.

Étretat is known for being the last place in France from which the 1927 biplane The White Bird (L'Oiseau Blanc) was seen. French WWI war heroes Charles Nungesser and François Coli were attempting to make the first non-stop flight from Paris to New York City, but after the plane's 8 May 1927 departure, it disappeared somewhere over the Atlantic. It is considered one of the great unexplained mysteries of aviation. A monument to the flight was established in Étretat, but destroyed during World War II, during German occupation. A new and taller monument was constructed in 1963, along with a nearby museum.

The economy of Étretat rests mainly on tourism, which gives the locals a growing commercial outlet. The city places itself as the number one tourist attraction in former Upper Normandy, as the site most visited along with Bénédictine distillery and museum at Fécamp, the Rouen Cathedral and the Claude Monet Foundation in Giverny.

During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries the economy was supplemented by kelp-burning on the beaches. The white plumes of smoke by the shore can be clearly seen in George Inness' painting 'Étretat' (1875, Wadsworth Athenaeum). The discovery and development of iodine-rich mineral deposits in Chile about the same time the iodine-from-kelp industry reached full vigor, dealt the kelp industry another severe blow in the late 1870's. However, small quantities of kelp continued to be harvested for soda, potash and iodine in northern France.
