The Brazilian Alberto Santos-Dumont is one of the greatest aviator of this time, an authentic hero (first man to possess the three pilot's licenses: balloon, dirigible and aeroplane). I have also built several of his planes in 1/200 (from Fiddlersgreen). |

As always, a superb model and display, Jan.
I once read that Santos-Dumont used to fly into Paris in one of his little dirigibles, descend to a favorite bistro, tie his airship to a gaslight, and go into dinner, afterward flying home. I consider his story too good to check. Don |
