    This and other photos of Harold Kantner and Albert Heinrich in the latest batch of Bain photos are from the July 4, 1914 air race staged from and near Governor's Island. AERIAL RACE TODAY TO BE RECORD EVENT; Flying Boats to Compete with Landgoing Machines for First Time Here. New York Times July 4, 1914 Eight airmen are entered for a mixed aeroplane and flying boat race which will be held over an all-water course above the Hudson River and New York Bay this afternoon. query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F7081EF83A5B13738... >>> Due to rough seas, none of the seaplanes were able to take off for the race. That left only Kantner and Heinrich (both flying land-based aircraft) able to compete, with Kantner winning the $1,000 prize for 1st place and Heinrich winning a $500 prize for 2nd. ONLY TWO PLANES FLY IN AIR RACE; Three Waterplanes Weather-bound at Sea Gate, Unable to Rise from the Heavy Waves. New York Times July 5, 1914 The aeroplane race, by which the Mayor's Fourth of July Committee planned to give the people something to make up for the lack of firecrackers and skyrockets, turned out yesterday afternoon to be a hollow victory for Harold Kantner, pilot of a 50-horse power Schmidt monoplane, the smallest air machine ever raced in America. query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F10814FB3E5B17738...

    This photo ran in The Sunday Oregonian. (Portland, Ore.) on July 26, 1914 with the following story: "Harold Kantner, winner of aviation contract Harold Kantner, flying in a 50-horse-power Schmitt monoplane, won the aviation contest at New York on the Fourth. Kantner's time in the 36-mile race was 43 minutes 28 1-5 seconds. The only other birdman of the eight supposed to take part in the contest who actually flew was A. S. Heinrich, who was beaten by Kantner by 3 minutes 20 3-5 seconds. The race was arranged as part of the city's "safe and sane" celebration.
