BLERtor's plane was the smallest of the three, the two principal wings being attached to two smaller ones by a light framework, with four movable controlling rudders in the back. The total lifting surface was less than 14 square metres. A three-cylinder 22 horse-power motor turned the four-blade propeller, and with pilot and fuel on board, the plane weighed only 500 pounds. The machine was not known as an airplane, but as 40 artificial bird." "I had absolute confidence in that plane, even though I had smashed up half a dozen before," BLERIOT said. "I felt great, satis- faction at my victory, but that, is all it brought me. I was never approached with offers of stage con- tracts or speaking engagements. We knew that my success meant de-
