    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.
