Biography

André Frey was among the early aviators who pushed the boundaries of powered flight at a time when the sky still felt unfamiliar and daring. His work as a pilot and advocate for aviation helped encourage the development of the aircraft that would soon transform travel and warfare alike.

Frey’s passion for the skies was reflected not only in his flights but also in the precision and care with which he navigated them, and he now rests at the Cimetière de Viroflay, leaving behind a lasting impression of courage and innovation.
