Wrights Demonstrate Heavier-Than-Air Flight in Le Mans
In a Paris flurry over aviation the Wright brothers showcased a Dayton aeroplane in Le Mans while Farman is in the United States. Observers note the device can be maneuvered easily in good weather and ascend and descend rapidly, signaling progress toward U.S. priority in flight despite European skepticism.
