In 1910 he brought a Voisin biplane to Australia where he completed the first airplane flight in the country's history (two other men had flown before, but Houdini was the first to take off and land successfully). He believed that this feat would be of far more historical note than his performances as a magician. Today it is barely known even in Australia.Brent McKeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14883838112004433045noreply@blogger.com
