The November 18, 1915 issue of Scientific American and its cover feature about an elusive French invisible plane would ultimately help inspire WonderWoman's invisible plane decades later.
\nA post from earlier this year about Marvel\/Timely's USA Comics #3 eventually led me to the November 18, 1915 issue of Scientific American and its cover feature about an elusive French transparent plane. This feature seems to be the root inspiration for much discussion about the possibilities for 'invisible planes' during WWII when it was rediscovered by the media in 1941, likely even helping to inspire Wonder Woman's invisible plane in Sensation Comics #1.
Some of the confusion on the matter centered around whether the French could or would have used Cellon, but the material was indeed broadly known and used in aviation at the time and licensed for manufacture in multiple countries. It would further appear that usage of French-developed Emaillite material may have been on the decline by this time because of medical reports of poisoning and even death due to handling Emaillite.
