Rppc santos dumont zeppelin aviation daspet real photo postcard (c. 1903) rppc santos dumont zeppelin aviation daspet real photo postcard (c. 1903) click images to enlarge description very attractive and historic real photo postcard showing as given by caption, 'le santos-dumont n. 6 dans le pare de m. De rostchild. - traversee de i'eau' loosely translated as the santos-dumont n. 6 in the wall of m. De rostchild. - crossing the water. Blue double oval louis daspet paris handstamp on reverse side. According to wikipedia: alberto santos-dumont (portuguese: [awˈbɛʁtu ˈsɐ̃tuz duˈmõ]; 20 july 1873 – 23 july 1932, usually referred to as simply santos-dumont) was a brazilian inventor and aviation pioneer, one of the very few people to have contributed significantly to the development of both lighter-than-air and heavier-than-air aircraft. The heir of a wealthy family of coffee producers, santos-dumont dedicated himself to aeronautical study and experimentation in paris, where he spent most of his adult life. In his early career he designed, built, and flew hot air balloons and early dirigibles, culminating in his winning the deutsch de la meurthe prize on 19 october 1901 for a flight that rounded the eiffel tower. He then turned to heavier-than-air machines, and on 23 october 1906 his 14-bis made the first powered heavier-than-air flight in europe to be certified by the aéro-club de france and the fédération aéronautique internationale. His conviction that aviation would usher in an era of worldwide peace and prosperity led him to freely publish his designs and forego patenting his various innovations. Santos-dumont is a national hero in brazil, where it is popularly held that he preceded the wright brothers in demonstrating a practical airplane. Countless roads, plazas, schools, monuments, and airports there are dedicated to him, and his name is inscribed on the tancredo neves pantheon of the fatherland and freedom. He was a member of the brazilian academy of letters from 1931 until his suicide in 1932. Unsent, undivided back with light corner bumping & toning. Very fine condition.
