    The history of early flight pioneers is filled with failures and crashes as they attempted to achieve flight, despite many failures, these early flight pioneers persisted in their quest to achieve flight, ultimately paving the way for the development of modern aviation.
    If you need this clip for offline edit let me know, i'll send you a link. With time all movies will be available on the site.

      Judging by the shape of some of those machines (resembling WWI era planes), the quality of the recordings (and the fact that they had access to cameras in the first place), the automobiles in the background in some of them, and the use of relatively advanced engines in some others, I would say that at least some, if not all of them were made long after the Wright Brothers' flight, and by people who were ignorant of quite a few things that were absolutely known by that time.

    These are not aviation pioneers. Aeronautical engineering was already a well-established profession by the time these films were made: think of the airplanes that were flown in WWI. These are crank backyard inventors who didn't exactly know what they were doing. This series of films were presented as amusing novelties to audiences of the 1920s~30s.

    I have a reference book, Putnams series, which covers early flying machines, which were by definition 'experimental'. Many of the pictures are captioned "the only picture of x and his machine, taken before flight" ie they died shortly afterwards in their crumpled machine. Although many survived due to the low speed and altitude involved, many such as Charles Rolls (of Rolls Royce) did not.

      The top two and the bottom rotors run in opposite directions if you look closely. if they didn't, the entire apparatus would rotate. The problem was often a lack of engine power, which was fortunate for the inventors because it saved them from falling from great heights.

    it's simple to build a car once someone knows how. it is not easy to be the first one to build a car.
