Blériot Libellule
This aircraft was another Bleriot
creation named Libellule, the "Dragonfly", because of pairs of
wings on the front and back. Bleriot made short hops with it in 1907, but
on the last test flight, after he'd climbed to about 60 feet, he lost
control of the plane and it crashed to the ground. Bleriot escaped without
serious injury.
