200-m long glide, before being damaged beyond repair after a crash. Compared to its first glider, it was a very different machine. The wings could not move, but the glider was equipped with a mechanical flight control system that could warp the wings along their entire span. The tail was maneuverable as well. Also, this second plane was structurally different than the first one. The Albatross became the first aircraft to be photographed, in 1868 by Benjamin Charles Pépin (also known as Pépin fils), photographer based in Siam street, Brest. Two originals of these pictures are preserved by the Musée Carnavalet in Paris (Inventory Number PH1828) and the Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace in Le Bourget, France. The first well-documented glider was built by George Cayley and flown by an employee in 1853. Also in Great Britain, Stringfellow had built small unmanned gliders in 1848. However Le Bris invented more effective flight controls, which could act on the incidence of wings and which were patented in March 1857. Late life In March 1868, Jean Marie Le Bris learned of the death of his son, during his military service, onboard of the frigate La Magicienne sailing nearby Montevideo, Uruguay. Shortly after, he decided to assert his right to retire and get his pension. During the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, Le Bris volunteered to fight against the Prussian Army. He ended at Camp Conlie and, realizing the fate of the Army of Brittany, got transferred as a franc-tireur. He took part in the combats in Western France: the battle of Le Mans, and the subsequent fights in Sarthe and Mayenne. After the armistice, Le Bris was demobilized and he went back home in Douarnenez. In 1871, Jean Marie Le Bris was appointed law enforcement officer (agent de police) by the mayor of Douarnenez. On September 7, 1871, Le Bris and fellow policeman Yves Corentin Larhant intervene at a ball to stop a fight between two guests. Le Bris is injured in the process. According to his daughter Julie, he will never recover from this aggression, with his physical health declining over time. Le Bris died in his home of Douarnenez, on February 17, 1872.
