@@michaelmartinez1345 I'm told there was a book published in the 1960s about how the replica aircraft used in the movie 'Those Magnificent Men & Their Flying Machines' were built and flown. To cut a long story short, some flew well (Bristol (Curtiss) Boxkite, Avro Triplane - both now displaying at the Shuttleworth Collection, Old Warden, England) - some flew poorly (Antoinette Monoplane, Deperdussin) and some 'flew' only with the aid of a large crane kept just out of shot. The Deperdussin was flown by a brave young woman because she was a few kilos lighter than all the guys. It was that marginal! I've tried to see the engine on the plane in the video above but I can't make it out. From the apparent speed of the prop it could well be an Anzani or similar. Later Anzanis had the three cylinders arranged at 120 degrees, which gave smoother running, but Bleriot flew the English Channel with an early 'W' type engine.

*Facing much skepticism in the French aeronautical community and outright scorn by some newspapers that called him a **_"bluffeur",_** Wilbur began official public demonstrations on August 8, 1908, at the Hunaudières horse racing track near the town of Le Mans, France. His first flight lasted only 1 minute 45 seconds, but his ability to effortlessly make banking turns and fly a circle amazed and stunned onlookers, including several pioneer French aviators, among them Louis Blériot. In the following days, Wilbur made a series of technically challenging flights, including figure-eights, demonstrating his skills as a pilot and the capability of his flying machine, which far surpassed those of all other pioneering aircraft and pilots of the day.* *The French public was thrilled by Wilbur's feats and flocked to the field by the thousands, and the Wright brothers instantly became world-famous. Former doubters issued apologies and effusive praise. **_L'Aérophile_** editor Georges Besançon wrote that the flights "have completely dissipated all doubts. Not one of the former detractors of the Wrights dare question, today, the previous experiments of the men who were truly the first to fly ..." Leading French aviation promoter Ernest Archdeacon wrote, "For a long time, the Wright brothers have been accused in Europe of bluff ... They are today hallowed in France, and I feel an intense pleasure ... to make amends."*

The actual oldest plane (Bleriot) is in the Shuttleworth collection. Flying it is not fun because the wing warping causes the controls to work in reverse in slow flight because of the under cambered wing. Once it picks up speed, the controls become normal again. They only take it out to fly for short hops in perfect weather.

Trial and error -- and many trials in one day -- progress was assured, along with plenty of errors and a few deaths.

True, although there were several successful monoplanes in World War One. One example being the Bristol M1C of 1917. This aircraft performed well and, had it gone into mass production, may well have spared the Royal Flying Corp the horrendous casualties it took in 'bloody' April 1917. But it fell foul of War Office prejudice against monoplanes, which were regarded as flimsy even when they weren't. The few M1Cs that were built were sent to the middle east and had little opportunity to show how good they were.
