I remember this photo in Flight, 1910 of aircraft with biplane elevator, low placed biplane wings, man sitting between planes and big wheels.
That's an article from Flight:
Quote:
AN INDIAN BIPLANE.
We have yours giving us names of motor engines, for which we are much obliged, and in return we are posting you photograph of what we believe is the first aeroplane in India, which has been constructed by one of our customers, a Mr. C. D'Angelis, of Madras. The machine has been built by our friend entirely from his own designs, and we understand that although up to the present he has been experimenting with a small horse-power engine, the results given by this are so satisfactory that with a higher horsepower he anticipates being able to make long and consecutive flights.
