About this product
Product Information
A child of his time - Santos-Dumont had a blind faith in the future of technology and did not foresee the destructive power of the aircraft. Yet, his indomitable spirit was crushed as competition grew and the skies became full of hazardous aircraft. With the dawn of World War I, Santos-Dumont saw the devastating effect of aircraft and began to blame himself for every fatality. With such a weight on his mind Santos-Dumont became distracted from his dream and fears began to grow amongst his family and friends for his sanity. He made his last attempt to fly by sticking feathers to his arms and launching himself through a window in a sanatorium.Product Identifiers
