First flight in China

A Chinese silk painting depicting the first airplane seen in China. This might refer to Feng Ru, a Chinese immigrant who built and his flew his own airplane in California, then returned to China where he demonstrated his plane and built another. He died while flying it in August 26, 1912.

I wouldn't let people stand on the wings like that. Little wonder he died too soon.

I hope he crashed into those people on the ground, killing them too.
