        "On May 8, 1927 Charles Nungesser left Le Bourget airfield in France with Captain Francois Coli, his navigator. The plane, a Levasseur P.L.8 biplane, painted with his World War I insignia of a black heart, two burning candles, a coffin, and skull and cross bones, set out over the Atlantic ocean. Lieutenant Charles Nungesser, Captain Coli, and their plane, the Oiseau Blanc (White Bird), were never officially seen again."
