    Curtiss was a genius. The Curtiss Aviation Museum in Hammondsport, NY is worth a visit. A good time to go is in the Fall when the foliage is so beautiful in the Finger Lakes. www.glennhcurtissmuseum.org/

    And take some time to do some wine tasting while there.
  • In Memoriam: budderflyman said:
    Oh, yes, we visited two wineries. Tne NY State wines are every bit as good as the California wines

  • Sean H said:
    I imagine that was a difficult shot to take with the technology of the time. I particularly like how one of the pilots appears to be looking right at the camera.
  • Harry Angstrom said:
    maybe G. M. Hecksher, find references to aviator of that name. A Flickr photo here with alternate spelling. www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/3575394619/
  • Kristi (LOC P&P) said:
    Harry Angstrom: In both photos here in Flickr, the spelling is G. M. Heckscher, and a search through Google Books of published sources such as the American Aviation Historical Society journal and Glenn Curtiss: Pioneer of Aviation by Alden Hatch (Guilford, Conn: The Lyons Press, 2007), show Heckscher with that spelling, so I think the existing captions can remain. Thanks for the comment!

    At Keuka Lake, Hammondsport, New York, 1913.
  • Richard Norton said:
    I found his passport application. He is Gustave Maurice Heckscher (1884-1967). He was born on 15 May 1884 in Philadelphia and it looks like he died in 1967. I will add him to Wikipedia later.
