voando com o 14-Bis sobre o campo
conferindo seu relógio de pulso
ao lado da gôndola de um dirigível
examinando o projeto de uma aeronave
acenando do cockpit do avião
jantando em um café parisiense
circulando a Torre Eiffel em um dirigível
trabalhando em seu hangar em Neuilly
demonstrando o monoplano Demoiselle
projetando sua casa 'A Encantada' em Petrópolis
