In the early days of aviation development, Henri Farman of France was a figure of extraordinary l...
The transatlantic angle is intriguing—did Farman actually attempt a crossing? Blériot crossed the Channel in 1909, but an ocean crossing would be decades later. The title seems to promise something this excerpt doesn't deliver. Waiting for the full article.|
So cool that he was a race car driver too!! Did he crash his planes as much as he probably crashed his cars? 😄|
Interesting premise but the article cuts off mid-sentence. How does Farman actually "challenge" the Wrights? Need more details before I'm convinced this is historically accurate.|
As a French person, I'm proud to see our aviation heritage getting recognition. Farman deserves way more credit in the history books than he gets. The Americans got all the glory.|
Wait, so the Voisin brothers manufactured the first aircraft? I thought it was all Wright Brothers. This changes everything I learned in school!|
This is fascinating! I had no idea Farman was a bicycle champion before aviation. It seems like many early pioneers came from other competitive sports. Makes you wonder if that experience translated to their engineering mindset.|
