THE VETERAN

Here is a rare document. It shows Santos-Dumont's plane during its very first test, on September 13, 1906, before the performance of November 12, 1906, which we commemorated the other day.
Here, the plane, transported from the Neuilly hangar to Bagatelle, arrives at the Puteaux bridge. This photograph was lent to us by one of the plane's builders, Mr. Carton.
