The book briefly covers this multitude of approaches and design concepts, providing overall picture of the first decade of heavier than air aeronautics in France.

This review is from: French Aeroplanes Before the Great War: (Schiffer Military History) (Hardcover)
This book contains all that is to be known about the numerous pionniers of French (and, at that time "world's) aeroplanes. Some of these contraptions went quickly to the rubbish heap, but the others laid the fondation for the heavier-than-air success up to now.
