and for two weeks daily the machine
was set afloat to undergo some new

from each test. Assisting with tie

surprise even to Mr.. Curtss. On this
day the machine was taken out for
Its usual inspection and much to the
delight and surprise OF Mr.. Curtiss,
the pilot. 1t leaped into the air.
The success was electrifying. The
spectators ran along the beach shout.

OF the man gull sent exultant blasts.
This event marked the success OF a
new flier.
There were daily flights thereafter,
with and without passengers. The
navies of the world were quick to
recognize its value as an auxiliary. It
had hardly attained success before
the United States navy acquired an
hydroplnne for experimenting and it
has since added others. An aviation

the matter of hydroaeroplanes. 80
much SO that this water plane may be
said to be an American invention.
While experiments were conducted IN
Europe since 1906 only one machine
the Fabre hydroaeroplane. as much -
left the water, and 1t was wrecked ant
er few short trials. That was In 1Slo.
The first complete success was at
tained by Glenn H. Curtiss In the
early part Of 1911. and for nearly q
year he practically had the field 70
himself. The idea Of the hydroaero-
plane, however. seems to have original
ed with William Kress. an Austrian
inventor. After 81 years of expert.
menting he completed q machine htted
with cylindrical floats Of aluminium
which we're tried out at the Unter-Tuii-
nerbach chantiers In 1898 and 1SVA.
It never left tho water. In 1909 and
1908 the Wright brothers made some
experiments. but they were terminal
ed by the breaking Of q dam near Day
ton. Ohio
Other inventors followed. but with
out any pronounced success. Among
those notably were Parseva. Dn'
faux brothers. Archdeacon. Gabriel.
Voisin and Bleriot. The last three
collaborated in their experiments. Vol

which were tried out over the Seine
river.
In July OF 1905 Voisin was trying out
q Bleriot in which the pilot was seat
ed in a cagelike apparatus. The ma
chine became submerged and for some
seconds he was fastened underneath
the water. He did not like this ex
perience and after that the machines
were flown over land.
Then in 1911 along came Glenn H
Curtiss with q satisfactory solution oi
the problem.
