EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the Santos-Dumont 14bis biplane, piloted by the renowned Brazilian aviation pioneer, Alberto Santos-Dumont, as it graced the skies above the picturesque Cornish town of Lostwithiel in late 19th century. 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. The Santos-Dumont 14bis' visit to Lostwithiel served as a powerful publicity tool, generating widespread excitement and curiosity about the potential of aviation. This photograph is an intriguing glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the intersection of aviation history and the picturesque beauty of a bygone era. The Cornish town of Lostwithiel, with its excellent air quality, played a crucial role in the public's fascination with this groundbreaking technology, paving the way for the future of flight.
