For that kind of thing, the archives of Flight International used to be invaluable. Many early aeroplanes were illustrated there. The archive doesn't seem to be available any more

I'd also try L'aerophile: https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/cb344143803/date and Flugsport (can't remember where I found the link...)

Apparently. Although 'flying' was a rather loose term at the time. Straight line hops counted, although the Wrights had been flying circles for seven years by then
