Description
Brazilian-born Alberto Santos-Dumont was a brilliant inventor and aviation pioneer. He initially flew hot air balloons and early dirigibles, culminating in his winning the Deutsch de la Meurthe prize in 1901 for a flight that rounded the Eiffel Tower. He then turned to heavier-than-air machines, designing numerous versions of his whimsical bis and demoiselle aircraft. In the process, he broke several records, including the first flight of a powered heavier-than-air machine in Europe. In Brazil, Santos-Dumont is still revered and legend has it that he preceded the Wrights in demonstrating a practical airplane.
