    Quite possibly seated in a Wright B Flyer. Control stick and cross wire supports similar. Pilot and co-pilot sits side by side. Wrights were marketing their Wright B Flyer at this time. See www.wright-b-flyer.org for reblica pics

    The caption on the print is incorrect. On the right side of the photo is seated early aviator J. Clifford Turpin in what is likely a Wright Model B aircraft. Turpin was an instructor at the Wright School at the time (future Brig. Gen.) Thomas DeWitt Milling was a student there in 1911. Both Turpin and Milling would lead distinguished careers in aviation.

    Thomas DeWitt Milling (July 31, 1887 - November 26, 1960) was a pioneer of military aviation and a brigadier general in the U.S. Army Air Corps. He was the first rated pilot in the history of the United States Army Air Forces. He received his flight training from the Wright Brothers and was awarded Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) pilot certificate No. 30 on July 6, 1911. Although Milling was not the first U.S. Army aviator, he was the first to be rated according to FAI rules and received Military Aviator Certificate No. 1 on July 5, 1912. Milling also received the first badge awarded to an American military aviator in October 1913. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_DeWitt_Milling en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Clifford_Turpin
