Vejam aqui tudo da montagem do Mr. Chris Peachment do 14bis, em scratch e na 1/72.

 

 

Gostei da parte onde ele faz justiÇa a Santos Dumont:

 

"This, his first heavier than air machine, the 14bis took to the air under its own power, as opposed to the Wright Brothers machine which used launch rails, in October 1906. And was the first heavier-than-air aircraft flight to be certified by the AÉro Club de France and the FÉdÉration AÉronautique Internationale (FAI). It was also the first flight to be witnessed by large crowds, as the Wright Brothers had flown with just a couple of people watching. In France the few who had heard of the Wright Brothers' flight treated it with some suspicion, if not disbelief. As far as Europe was concerned Santos-Dumont was king."

Permita-me discordar. O 14bis era um avião, aquela "coisa" horrenda dos Wright era algo que voava quando lançado, tal qual uma pedra 

Mas eu achei bem legal o final...

 

One of my grandfathers was alive when it first went aloft. He later became an aviator in WWI. And he lived to see the first landings on the moon only 60 years after Santos-Dumont took off. He lived through an extraordinary era of aviation, one in which the rate of progress was unparalleled, before or since.
