EARLY AVIATION PIONEERS - THE SAMUEL CODY ARCHIVE: S. F. Cody Wild West Show (c.1893). Known as a showman, sharpshooter, horseman, aviator and aircraft designer, Samuel Franklin Cody held a wide range of interests and talents that led him from the typical life of an Iowa farm boy to a much loved figure of British aeronautics history. As one of the main attractions during his Wild West Show?s European tour, Cody cashed in on the bicycle craze of the 1890s with a series of races pitting him and his horsemanship against famous cyclists. In this particular instance, Cody faced off against the tandem team of Fournier and Gaby, who won the gruelling six-hour, 178 kilometre race against Cody by a good five kilometres at the popular cycling arena Velodrome de la Seine in Paris. Date: circa 1893
