For example, say the author is writing a review on a Duke Dumont concert.

Santod Dumont feared that flight would be used for war and this was realised when the Paulista uprising triggered civil war.

If the title should go to the closest we have to an airplane today, Santos Dumont beats the Wright Brothers.

Disclaimer: I am Brazilian and I learned that Santos Dumont was the first one when I was little in school.

Also, I loved Paul Hoffman's biography of the Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos Dumont as well.

I agree that Santos Dumont is great and a wonderful role model but the way this story is (was?) taught in school in Brazil is misleading.

Something only Andrew Dumont would understand.

Except that both the number of commercial minutes and the number product plugs in each hour have quadrupled in my recent memory, which is not even so good anymore since the Dumont network vanished and Ed Murrow took that government job.

What makes Alberto Santos-Dumont, a dedicated experimenter with a positive genius for simple solutions to baffling problems, a "one-man freakshow"?

It must have been a blast to see Santos-Dumont "parking" his dirigible in Paris when he went to restaurants and cafés.
