The first European to fly an airplane and a pioneer in the field of dirigibles, fashionable, Brazilian-born aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont would fast become a popular celebrity as a result of his fearless innovation. Though he took great interest in pursuing his vision as the flying machine as a personal transportation vehicle, Santos-Dumont would find his days of making an airborne entrance to garden parties and trendy cafes numbered when the Wright Brothers eclipsed his success by unveiling the very first airplane in France.
