We May Fly to the World’s Fair in Air Ships
A French pioneer named Santos-Dumont reportedly solved aerial navigation with a balloon machine at Paris and a test near the Eiffel Tower proving flight feasible. The prize of 100,000 francs was offered by Henry Deutach for a half-hour round trip from Suresnes around the tower and back. The piece imagines air travel transforming transportation and foresees possible trips to St. Louis in 1903, with cities, fields, and clouds all navigable by air.
