The exceptional air quality of this quaint English town attracted Santos-Dumont to perform a series of daring flights, showcasing his groundbreaking aviation achievements to the awe-struck crowd. The Santos-Dumont 14bis, a significant advancement in aviation technology, was the first successful fixed-wing aircraft to make a controlled takeoff, landing, and flight in Europe. Its sleek design and innovative features, including a pusher propeller and a steerable tail, made it a marvel of engineering during this era of early aviation. As Santos-Dumont soared above Lostwithiel, the townspeople marveled at the sight of human flight, marking a pivotal moment in the history of transportation.
