概要

 Dive into the remarkable life of Glenn Hammond Curtiss, a pioneering aviator from Hammondsport, New York, who made history by winning the Scientific American Trophy for the first officially witnessed airplane flight in North America on July 4, 1908, flying his aircraft, the June Bug, for 5,080 feet. In 1910, he earned permanent possession of this trophy after completing the first successful long-distance flight, covering 147 miles from Albany to New York City. As the holder of the first US pilots license and founder of the nations first flying school, Curtiss played a vital role in training military pilots during WWI with the iconic Curtiss JN-4, known as the Jenny. Recognized as the Father of Naval Aviation, he pioneered hydroplanes and the first landing systems for carrier ships. In 1912, alongside fellow aviation innovator Augustus Post, he co-authored the Curtiss Aviation Book, chronicling his early flights and exploring the state of aviation technology at the time, featuring contributions on specialized aeroplane uses from notable figures like Paul Beck and Theodore Ellyson.Copyright Science Stories アート 世界 文学史・文学批評
