Santos Dumont n° 6 seen in The Conquest of the Air.
In April 1900, Henri Deutsch de la Meurthe offered a prize of 50,000 francs to the first machine capable of flying a round trip from the Parc Saint Cloud to the Eiffel Tower in Paris and back in less than thirty minutes. After several attempts, on 19 October 1901, Santos-Dumont launched a new lighter-than-air, his Number 6 airship at 2:30 pm. After only nine minutes of flight, Santos-Dumont had rounded the Eiffel Tower. Despite engine problems on the return flight, he was able to cross the line seconds just before the time limit.
