man makes passenger flights at SIS

builder of the first tractor a%eroplane,
which he designed, constructed and
flew in 1909.
The plane he uses here is a Curtis
of the type used to train pilots in the
army. Since April of this year he
has been giving exhibition flights and
taking up passengers in Bridgeton,
Woodstown, Elmer, Shiloh and other
South Jersey towns. He will stay in
Wildwood until the close of the season.
His son, Alan G. Richman, is his
assistant. The younger Richman was
