tvaner Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 Hi all, Had this sent to me and had to share it here. It's a film clip from the Austrian archives about the Wright Brothers demonstrating their plane in Italy in 1909. What is even more fantastic is there was an on-board camera on the Wright plane and the last part of this film shows it. It's crystal clear. Wilbur Wright is at the controls on both of the flights Wilbur Wright und seine Flugmaschine - 1909 - Europa Film Treasures
slartibartfast Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 Wow. That's fantastic. I had no idea that footage existed. Thanks Keith.
Deskpilot Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 How come that's been hidden for so long. Brilliant find. Are there any more?

Guest ozzie Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 thats great footage showing the canard, looks a bit sensitive. a bit of mass balance would have been handy. notice the bit of string? i'd love to have a go at flying one. has anyone other than Col flown the replica from Narromine?
