Aviator Kantner, Capt. Gleaves, U.S.N. [Navy] (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

Wystan said:
Harold "Harry" Kantner was an exhibition pilot, airplane builder, and an instructor at the Moisant Aviation School at Hempstead Plains, near Garden City, Long Island: earlyaviators.com/ekantner.htm "In the winter of 1912-13 he designed and built a new Moisant Military Scout. Known as the Kantner-Moisant Bluebird, the machine could be taken apart in four minutes and reassembled in eight. Superbly constructed, the Bluebird was successful from the start." Here Kantner is demonstrating the military plane for Navy officers. The photo negative is dated August 6, 1913. Kantner wears goggles, a sweater, and gloves. Either he has just landed, or is about to go aloft.
Wystan said:
Captain (later Admiral) Albert Gleaves was appointed commander of the Presidential Yacht in 1901. He maintained a friendship with President Theodore Roosevelt that lasted until TR's death on January 6, 1919. Gleaves wrote several books on naval history, and an autobiography.

in this picture and the other of the same boat, the gentleman seems to be very intently aiming a machine gun that has no ammo belt hooked up to it.

Those pants would make anybody look like they were fat. Not a good design.
