G.M. Heckscher's Curtiss Flying Boat [60 m.p.h.] (LOC)

    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!

    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.
