Caught on Camera: Wilbur Wright's 1908 Flying Demonstration in France

Wilbur Wright and Léon Bollée, center, pose in front of Bollée’s automobile factory in Le Mans, France. This photograph was likely taken on June 8, 1908, the day Wilbur Wright arrived in this region of northwestern France. When working on and flying in his biplane, Wilbur usually wore a cap; here he has donned a more formal hat. ID.2000.53.79 (K1786)
