• TVL1970 said:

  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.

• Art Siegel said:

  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.

  Harry H. Brown Aero Club of America Pilot # 58 Sept. 7, 1911 During 1912 Brown flew from a private airport near Hicksville, Long Island , New York. ( Menendez Corner 4 miles east of Hempstead , Long Island, New York.) Brown also had F. Rodman Law make parachute drops from this aircraft during 1912. I believe this photo was taken at the flying field at Hicksville, Long Island, New York
