To tease a start: here is a note from Aviation, December 27, 1926, page 1080

When Joseph Thoret landed at the base of the Algerian ridge as night fell, he said he could have remained airborne for seven days. A few months later, he set a world distance gliding record of almost five miles. I think he was the first to fly a glider off Mt. Blanc for a 15 mile flight in 1928.
