This is a scan of a Popular Mechanics article from 1912 . It was the latest stunt performed by a famous French stuntman (Legagneux) . It would be an interesting challenge at an r/c fun fly event . .... D.J.

Am I seeing that scan correctly? It looks like they are portraying him flying backwards on the left-to-right legs. Of course, PM probably didn't know front to back of the aircraft at the time anyway.

Interesting,

Bedford

Status: offline 		Is is likely that there was enough of a headwind so that the airplane could fly slowly-enough that it would drift backwards in relation to the ground? That would give a path like that without the airplane actually flying backwards.
