True at the time it must have been such an adventure for these early flyers.

Great image of this display, I think people that do this now are brave, nethermind these chaps.

I guess we're always jealous of the ease of birds!

Cools shot. It does look sort of like a hang glider.

Cool shot. Judging by the construction, that's Otto Lilienthal.

I wonder how often they succeded and didn't crash.

I think Leonardo Da Vinci had them all beaten to the punch...
