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. It is understood that the French and Italian versions have been regarded as synonymous with the English terms “air” and “airspace.” See John C. 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.
