2 March 1914

Frenchman Victor Garaix continued to set altitude records using the variable incidence biplane designed by Paul Schmitt. On 2 March 1914 he carried three passengers to 3,300 meters (10,825 feet) in a 55 minute flight. A temperature of -22°C (-8°F) was recorded and the aircraft was covered with frost during the descent.
