Which Wright brother was the first to fly at a public demonstration in Europe?

Wilbur Wright was the first Wright brother to fly at a public demonstration in Europe. In 1908, he conducted highly influential flight demonstrations in France, where large crowds and aviation experts witnessed the Flyer’s controlled performance.

The European demonstrations transformed public opinion about the Wright brothers. Before Wilbur’s arrival, many Europeans doubted or underestimated the reports of the 1903 flights. His repeated flights showed that the aircraft could turn, circle, and remain under precise pilot control.

Wilbur’s demonstrations also helped establish the brothers’ reputation among European aircraft designers and pilots. Their success encouraged wider interest in aviation and contributed to the rapid development of aircraft technology.

Orville later demonstrated the Flyer in Europe as well, but Wilbur’s 1908 appearances came first. This question is about the first public European flying demonstrations, not the first flight in Europe by any aviator.
