In 1908, Wilbur Wright astounded France's best aviators with a series of demonstrations at LeMans, inside what is now the famous motorsport circuit. By 1909, the French had recovered sufficiently to make a historic flight across the English Channel, establish the first air race, and inaugurate what many claim is still the greatest air show in the world -- Le Salon Internationale de l'Aeronautique et de l'Espace, better known as the Paris Air Show. This fantastic photohistory celebrates the show's entire nine-plus decades by examining the greatest moments in aviation history as witnessed at the industry's signature event.
