Josephine Baker in a Voisin

For the previous post about Jospehine Baker https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2019/06/1936-josephine-baker-was-in-red-cross.html

For a tidbit about Gabriel Voisin that I posted before, but deserves another look:

When Gabriel Voisin realized that his era was past, he closed his workshop, and wrote his memoirs in two volumes, which he titled "My 10,000 Kites" and “My 1001 Autos”.

Much to Gabriel's surprise, when he was 85, the French government informed him that he was to be made a Commander of the Legion of Honor. The recognition must've been bittersweet. With only a small pension to live on, Gabriel Voisin continued on until 1973, when he died in poverty and obscurity, at 93 years old.
