Also experimenting in France, at the same time asthe Voisin brothers, was another great master offlight—M. Louis Bleriot. His methods wereoriginal. He pinned his faith to the monoplane. II First practical flights—The Wright brothers; the Voisins;Farman—The cross-Channel flight. Hastening our review, in order to reach matters ofmore definite interest from the military point of view,we find that, in 1908, the Wright brothers made aerialhistory by a series of magnificent flights which were,however, unfortunately marred by a tragedy. Coming to France, Wilbur Wright flew for acouple of hours, without descending, at Le Mans.At about the same time, in America, Orville Wrightwas carrying out a series of demonstrations beforethe military authorities. He achieved remarkablesuccess, particularly from a war point of view, bycarrying a passenger in his machine for quite along flight. Then, when taking up Lieutenant Self ridge, of the</i><br><b>Text Appearing After Image:</b><br><i>THE AEROPLANE IN WAR 9 American army, he met with disaster. One of thepropellers of his machine broke; it crashed tothe ground from a height of about lOO feet. Lieu-tenant Self ridge was killed, being the first victim ofthe aeroplane, and Orville Wright broke his thigh.The accident, as may be imagined, cast a gloom overflying in America for a long time. Longer flights by Henry Farman, on an improvedVoisin biplane, were also to be noted in the year1908; and thus the way is cleared for a description ofthe wonders achieved in 1909, when it may be saidthat the importance of the aeroplane, from a militarypoint of view, was first demonstrated, and the atten-tion of nations seriously directed towards the possi-bilities of this new arm. Early in the summer of 1909, after innumerabledisappointments, and the breaking-up of many ex-perimental machines, Bleriot began to achievesuccess with a simply-constructed monoplane, drivenby an equally simple three-cyhnder petrol motor;and, at the same time,</i><br><br><b>Note About Images</b><br></p>
