Wings of madness (2006)


Synopsis: At the turn of the 20th century one man inspired a generation of aeronauts to push the limits of their courage and imagination. A fearless test pilot and innovator, Santos-Dumont pursued a unique vision of the flying machine as a personal vehicle -- he delighted in steering his airship down the Paris boulevards and dropping in at cafes and garden parties. But his burst of glory was short-lived. When the Wright Brothers finally unveiled their airplane – in France – they instantly eclipsed Santos-Dumont’s fame. Eventually, Santos-Dumont slipped into illness and despair, tormented by the knowledge that the airplane, which he believed to be his invention, had become a lethal weapon of war.
