A Brazilian aeronut first inspired by the ill-fated Andree balloon adventure to the pole but then branching out into the design and flight of a number of prototype fixed wing aircraft. Santos-Dumont is considered by many to be arguably the first man to fly a powered aeroplane but his work was beaten to the punch by the Wright Brothers who were considerably less erratic a circumstance which bedevilled Santos-Dumont for the remainder of his life. A much neglected personality in the field of aeronautical design exploration and development. Putnam unknown

191373067Paris: L'Auto 1913. First edition. Bifolio 16 3/4 by 24 inches. Now separated into two leaves but complete. Photographic illustrations. Very good.A free newspaper supplement detailing the 1913 Air Meet in France. The third page bears photographic illustrations of the winners and include; Monoplane Nieuport; Monoplane Morane-Saulnier; Biplan Breguet; Hydravion Borel; Biplan H. Farman; Monoplan Bleriot; Hydravion M. Farman; Hydravion Caudron. There are alos photographic portraits of 10 pilots including one woman: Mme de Laroche. Born on 22 August 1882 in Paris Elise Raymonde Deroche was the daughter of a plumber. She had a fondness for sports as a child as well as for motorcycles and automobiles when she was older. As a young woman she became an actress and used the stage name "Raymonde de Laroche". Inspired by Wright's demonstations of flight in Paris in 1908 she decided to become a pilot. "In October 1909 de Laroche appealed to her friend aviator and aeroplane builder Charles Voisin to instruct her in how to fly. On 22 October 1909 de Laroche went to the Voisin brothers' base of operations at Chalons 90 miles east of Paris. Voisin's aircraft could seat only one person so she operated the plane by herself while he stood on the ground and gave instructions. After she mastered taxiing around the airfield she lifted off and flew 300 yards. De Laroche's flight is often cited as the first by a woman in a powered heavier-than-air craft; there is evidence that two other women P. Van Pottelsberghe and Thérèse Peltier had flown the previous year with Henri Farman and Delagrange respectively as passengers but not as pilots. On 8 March 1910 de Laroche became the first woman in the world to receive a pilot licence when the Aero-Club of France issued her licence #36 of the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale International Aeronautics Federation or F.A.I."

Founded under the title L'Auto-Vélo 1900-1902 by its founder director Henri Desgrange this organized the Tour de France. It was banned from publication in 1944 because it was considered favorable to the German Occupation. L'Auto unknown
