Reims was the venue, in August 1909, for the world's first organised international air meet, \The Champagne Region's Great Aviation Week\". Lefebvre flew a Wright biplane at the meeting. He died in a crash while flying a Wright plane at Juvisy-Sur-Orge, France, later that year, on 7 September 1909. He is considered to be the first victim of an aeroplane crash.
