Les hélicoptères Paul Cornu
Creator:
Bracke, A. (Albert).
Publication:
Dequesne-Masquillier & Fils, Mons, 1908.
Notes:
In November of 1907, the French bicycle maker Paul Cornu became the first person to rise vertically in powered free flight. He lifted about a foot above ground and hovered for around 20 seconds; but although he achieved an historic first, the controls were inadequate, and the craft never developed into a practical helicopter. Title taken from cover.
