1 The term “airspace” as used in the Paris Convention of 1919, which was drawn up in the English, French and Italian languages, appears as “ espace atmosphérique “ in French, and as “spaaio atmosferico” in Italian.

Cooper, “The Problem of a Definition of ‘Airspace,’ “ Memorandum for the 9th Annual Congress of the International Astronautical Federation, The Hague, August, 1958; reprinted in Space Law—A Symposium Prepared at the Bequest of Honorable Lyndon B. Johnson, Chairman, Special Committee on Space and Astronautics, 85th Cong., 2nd Sess. (December 31, 1958), p. 403.
