Graduate of Paris School of Fine Arts Henry Farman was carried away by technologies and machines from his youth. He would take part in cycle and motor races. Finally, Farman developed a passion for flights. He bought Voisin’s airplane and went ahead with flying it and modifying the machine. On March 21, 1908 Henry Farman gave birth to passenger aviation having made a flight on board the plane piloted by Leon Delagrange. Later, Farman started building aircrafts himself and even sold a license to Russia. The fist Russian airplanes were Farman’s models.
