Aéro-Club de France

issued Aviators Certificates from 1909. These were internationally recognised under the
Fédération Aéronautique Internationale.
French aviators' licences were issued from 1 January 1910, but by this time many aviation pioneers, e.g.
Louis Blériot and the
Wright brothers, had amply demonstrated their abilities and they were therefore not required to pass an examination in order to receive a licence. The first fourteen licences were awarded in alphabetical order, with Blériot being awarded Licence No. 1 and
Wilbur Wright receiving No. 15 (No. 13 was not awarded); two further such 'honorary' licences were awarded subsequently and inserted into the sequence as '5bis' and '10bis'.
