Though he took great interest in pursuing his vision as the flying machine as a personal transportation vehicle, Santos-Dumont would find his days of making an airborne entrance to garden parties and trendy cafes numbered when the Wright Brothers eclipsed his success by unveiling the very first airplane in France.
