Photo wanted!
1 (?)
Wright
Pilot: Haine
#1 wasn't mentioned in the programs. A list in a newspaper mentioned an Englishman by the name of Haine. If he actually existed he didn't take part. The name was painted on one of the Wright hangars, though.

2
Wright
Pilot: Nicolas Popoff (Николай Попов)
Engine: 30 hp Barriquand & Marre I-4
A standard Wright without wheels. A bad photo, but the Wrights didn't do much flying at the Cannes meeting, so they are mostly seen in the background of photos. (1)

4 (?)
Wright
Pilot: Paul Bablot
Engine: 30 hp Barriquand & Marre I-4
#4 wasn't mentioned in the programs, only in a list in a newspaper. Bablot was a mechanic on the Wright planes and there are no reports that he did fly.

Farman
Pilot: Joseph Christiaens
Engine: 50 hp Gnôme 7 cyl.
A lightened "racing" Farman with shorter tail and small lower wings. (3)

6
Wright
Pilot: Vincent (Vinzenz) Wiesenbach
Engine: 30 hp Barriquand & Marre I-4
This was stated to be the most modern of the Wrights at the meeting, with both wheels and rear horizontal stabilizer. German-language sources often spell his first name "Vinzenz". (4)

Curtiss
Pilot: Frederick van Riemsdijk
Engine: 25 hp Curtiss I-4
(5)

8
Blériot XI
Pilot: Léon Molon
Engine: 25 hp Anzani 3 cyl.
Molon brought two planes to the meeting, which was fortunate in view of his several accidents and incidents. Note the unique vertical "keel" surface below the front fuselage. (6)

Wright
Pilot: Louis Gaubert
Engine: 30 hp Barriquand & Marre I-4
This photo was taken at Vichy after the meeting, but the plane still carried the Cannes race number. (7)
