Question

Alberto Santos Dumont (1873-1932) was born in Brazil and educated in Paris. He made his first ballon
ascent in 1898 and soon after that began constructing dirigible airships. In 1901 he won a Paris air race and
international fame. (After the race, he asked Louis Cartier for a timepiece that would keep his hands free
the first wristwatch.)
Turning to heavier-than-air machines, Santos Dumont built his 14-Bis in 1906, three years after the Wright
brothers' initial flight. His flight was the first in Europe, and his plane was the first anywhere to lift off the
ground under its own power. In 1909 Santos Dumont designed the Demoiselle monoplane, the forerunner
of modern light planes.
In 1901 Santos Dumont fell ill with multiple sclerosis and retires from flying. He returned to Brazil in
1916. Ill and despondent over the use of aircraft in warfare, he committed suicide in 1932
