		Farman succeeded on rising on such a machine of his own invention [sic: the Voisins had actually invented it], in flying over a kilomètre towards a goal previously fixed, which he rounded in perfect conditions of stability, and in returning to his starting point, where he alighted without a hitch.

		Henry Farman was left alone circling on endlessly round at a height of about 50 feet (16 m).
		Farman finally extricated himself from the crowd by jumping over the barrier into the pilot's paddock and walking back to his shed where he was congratulated by his brother, Dick, and lit a well-earned cigarette.
		Farman's flight of 112 miles on the Friday, Curtiss' battle with Blériot in the Gordon Bennett Cup, and Latham's altitude record all demonstrated that aviation was past its experimental phase.

	Henri Farman
		I am trying to locate the present whereabouts of the surviving family of the Farman brothers, Henry and Maurice, on behalf of friends who are involved in restoring and racing early cars of the type they raced in the Coupe Gordon Bennett etc before they turned to aviation around 1907.
		I know Henry died in Paris in 1958 at the age of 84, and that although he was born of English parents, he lived and worked all his life in France.
		Farman flew a biplane constructed by himself and his brother in 1907.

		However he was less technically-minded than Henry and had made only a few modifications to the basic design.
		Farman was the son of a prominent journalist who had been bitten by the aviation bug.
		It didn't matter that his turns were clumsy and he was in constant danger of losing control of the Voison-Farman I. Henri Farman had won the most coveted prize in aviation, and for the moment - as far as the French were concerned - the Wright brothers were beaten.

		Voisin machines were characterised by being safe and stable rather than spectacular in terms of performance, and showed little development over the years.

		Somewhat later Maurice Farman began to manufacture aircraft and in 1912 the brothers merged their interests in the Farman works at Boulogne-sur-Seine, making many planes of their characteristic pusher biplane type for military and training purposes.
		After the Wright brothers' public flights in 1908 first disclosed wing warping for latereral control, Farman machines adopted ailerons, a simpler aerodynamic equivalent; the Wright machines adopted wheels.
		Subsequently ailerons and wheeled landing gear came into general use on all planes.

		In 1907 a man named Henry Farman, son of an English newspaperman based in Paris, became interested in aviation.
		Farman decided he would be that man to win the Deutsch-Archdeacon prize and ordered a plane from the newly-founded airplane manufacturer Vosin Freres.
		By 1908 the Wright brothers began to have some success at selling their airplanes and it was decided that Wilber should travel to Europe to demonstrate their model "A" plane to French businessmen that were interested in licensing the design.

	THE AVIATION MEET
		Both the Farman and the second Curtiss plane which it resembled were developed in 1909.
		The Farman and Curtiss planes, like most Aeroplanes in those early days, were biplanes with one pair of wings built above the other.
		The aviator, Charles F. Walsh, would first explain his machine, a Farman Aeroplane, and then give some flying demonstrations "of quick rising into the air, sharp turns, and easy descension, the like of which has never been seen at an aviation meet out of the big cities." Four flights were planned.

		Henry was more important before the war (Shorthorn and Longhorn) and Maurice during (MF20, 40..).
		The Horace Farman combined design features from both and may have been built when the two joined forces (it was just Farman late in the war).
		In many accounts we see Henry called Henri, but we must not forget that they were nice English boys who went to France to make their fortunes.
