Arthur Jules Joseph Duray (9 February 1882 – 11 February 1954) was a Belgian racing driver and aviator. He was one of the first Belgians to pilot an aircraft, holding Belgian license #3. Duray is best known for breaking the land speed record on three separate occasions between July, 1903 and March, 1904.
After serving in the French Foreign Legion during the First World War, Duray acquired French nationality by naturalization in 1933.[1]
