NOVA: Wings of Madness DVD
Discover the genius and madness of the dashing European pilot who believed he was the airplane's inventor. Brazilian-born aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont captivated Europe with his daring exploits. He was first to fly an airplane in Europe, and also pioneered the first practical dirigibles, or powered balloons.A fearless test pilot and innovator, Santos-Dumont pursued a unique vision of the flying machine as a personal vehicle – he delighted in steering his airship down the Paris boulevards and dropping in at cafes and garden parties. But, his burst of glory was short-lived. When the Wright Brothers finally unveiled their airplane – in France – they instantly eclipsed Santos-Dumont's fame. Eventually, Santos-Dumont slipped into illness and despair, tormented by the knowledge that the airplane, which he believed to be his invention, had become a lethal weapon of war.Based on the acclaimed biography by Paul Hoffman, this engaging documentary tells the colorful and tragic life of this neglected pioneer and brilliant technical improviser, who cut a dashing figure in turn-of-the-century Paris.Features:Based on the acclaimed biography by Paul HoffmanPrintable material for educatorsAccess to the NOVA websiteScene selectionClosed captionsDescribed video for the visually impairedTravel back in time to experience first-hand a little-known but fascinating story in the history of airplane flight.
