    The grand daughter of John T. Daniels, the man that squeezes the bulb to take the picture, is a retired school teacher who has lived in Raleigh, NC for many years. She reports that this is the first and last picture that her grandfather ever took. He had never seen a camera before this day.

    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".
  • Ryan (LOC P&P) said:
    TVL 1970: Absolutely. Thanks for pointing this out. We'll make the correction to the name the next time we update the record.

    see notes under Lathrop, Burns, Nixon, Henderson, French, Grundy, B. Fowler, J.J. Cole, W.L. Colt, Henderson, and Stratton [around plane] (LOC)

    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.
