@vlatu PartT: ...trained over 90 students in the art of flying. Wilbur had given all flying duties over to his brother by May of 1909, never to pilot the very machine he had invented again, but it fit his character of not really liking to fly. Wilbur Wright was an engineer and he, almost entirely on his own, had developed the first effective lift/drift charts, developed the world's first 3-axis control system (something that has been used on every aircraft since) and the world's first propeller.

@vlatu PartS: ..it was too slow and ill-handling. The longest single flight ever made by Dumont was his March1909 flight of 8km, other than that he wasn't really very active with HTA machines. By March of 1910, Dumont announced his retirement from all aviation activities and his total accumulated time in the air with an HTA was 22min. Ironically, Dumont's last time in an airplane, ended in a crash, but as always Dumont's luck heldup and he wasn't injured. When Dumont retired, the Wrights had...

@vlatu PartQ: ..was simply too small and impractical, but even so, the Clement-Bayard Company of Paris liked it, so in April of 1909, they pre-built 50 M19 airframes, but by the spring of 1910, they had only sold 15 of them, so the C-B company dissassembled the remaining 35 and used the parts to build Farman II & III biplanes. Dumont also (Aug1909) entered the air meet at Reims with his M22 Demoiselle, but of the 36 enteries, Dumont was the only one that failed to qualify, because..

@vlatu PartP: went 145m across the ground, he retired from HTA activities and went back to his LTA machines and throughout all of 1908, the only thing Dumont flew was his No.16 airship LTA. Dumont did come back in Jan1909, 6 months after Wilbur Wright had stunned the world with the Wright's Flyer III "A", and with Bleriot's and Wilbur's help, the redesigned M18 mono-wing, that Bleriot had given him over a year earlier, was finally successful at the hands of Dumont. Dumont's M19 Demoiselle..

@vlatu PartO: During the spring and summer of 1907, dozens of French aviators were attempting for machines of every design and description, but only a handful were even moderatly successful, as it really boiled down to Delagrange and Farman, with Farman winning that year's distance record of 771m. Dumont had two very short hops in Nov1907, one for 203m (M17 biplane) and 145m (Bleriot's TypeIII mono-wing that Dumont would in 1909 call his "Demoiselle"). After his last attempt, where Dumont...

@vlatu ParkN:...a total disaster (Dumont's tractor biplane model 15) as it was so poorly designed and constructed, it just fell apart the first time he attempted to taxi it. There were less than 150 people at Dumont's M15 rollout and even less in April when he attempted again with his 14bis. The French public was now watching other French aviators like Delagrange, Viula, de Pischoff, Bleriot, Pelterie, and a Paris born Englishman, Henri Farman with his Voisin designed biplane.

@vlatu ParkM: behalf, noting that kicking Dumont out of the club now, right after they had just stolen the headlines from any future claims from the Wrights wasn't in the best interest of the club itself, nor with the honor of France. Delagrange agreed, but nobody at the club would ever trust Dumont again (except for Louis Bleriot), so Voisin/Pelterie told Dumont that for any future plans at HTA flight he may have, Dumont was on his own. Dumont's first HTA of his own design, was...

[BearFlight]

@vlatu ParkL:...the papers to headline Dumont's short power hop. During the first week of Jan (1907), while being interviewed for the LeMatin newspaper (Paris), Dumont stated he and he alone had designed the 14bis, which infuriated Voisin and Pelterie. Even worse, Dumont had broken a cardinal rule at the ACdeF by lying about a fellow club member. Leon Delagrange, the newly appointed President of the club, moved to have Dumont's club membership revoked, but Archdeacon intervened on Dumont's..

@vlatu PartK:...had "personally" observed since the formation of the FAI. According to the FAI, this was NOT the first flight on record, it was simply the first flight they recorded by personal observation (go to the 2Jan1909 issue of the British magazine "Flight" page 10-11, which lists the official FAI records current through 15Dec1908). Archdeacon, who had many connections in French politics as well as with the majority of newspapers, it was no problem for him to convince...

@vlatu PartJ: On 13Nov1906, Dumont had several attempts out at Bagatelle, with one hop of 80m, then finally on Dumont's 4th attempt, the wind had calmed so Dumont managed under full power to force a hop of 220m, but Dumont experienced that uncontrollable left roll agains so he shut her down with his 220m hop only requiring 21.5secs. The FAI officials were there and though they knew Dumont's flight was 80m short of Ader's flight, 9 years earlier, this was the first flight they...
