Wright Aeroplane Accident at Le Mans Delays Flight Tests
At Le Mans Wilbur Wright’s aeroplane damaged a left wing during a descent attempt from 75 feet. He escaped uninjured and called the incident a necessary part of mastering aviation. The craft will take several days to repair due to material shortages. Count Zeppelin praised Wright’s progress while noting airships retain value for reconnaissance over airplanes.

A French military aeronautic expert in Militaire argues Wright demonstrations prove the aeroplane can serve two main military roles. First, reconnaissance ahead of an army could replace cavalry due to speed and higher, wider observations from elevations above 100 feet. The second use is its employment as a scouting and observing platform.
