This is probably in late 1911. See www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/factsheets/factsheet_print.asp?... This is probably in late 1911. "On 10 October the school conducted the first military trials of a bombsight and dropping device which had been invented by Riley E. Scott, a former coast artillery officer. The tests took place at College Park in an Army Wright B plane flown by Milling; Scott, lying prone on the lower wing, operated the bombing device, which was placed directly in front of the wing." Not long after, Scott won a $5,000 Michelin prize in a bomb-dropping competition in Paris.

Thanks for the information. Will submit for review and possible addition to the catalog record.
