The name of the pilot is Robert Grant "Bob" Fowler, not "Bowler", and he is sitting in a Wright Model B Flyer he named the "Cole Flyer".

TVL 1970: Absolutely. Thanks for pointing this out. We'll make the correction to the name the next time we update the record.

This is J.J. Cole's "Cole Flyer", which was a Wright biplane with one of Cole's auto engines driving it. Cole hired Fowler to pilot it in a transcontinental race in September, 1911, the date on the photo.

Cool picture but It looks like an airplane not a glider. IT looks like an early Wright flyer

great great great, get the funk and do what you loove!

For sure that it is Wright motorised air-plane! The year must be 1906-1908...
