Pot-Luck-Humor - America's first Aircraft Carrier - GREAT PHOTOS!

 

Check out the original life preserver the pilot is wearing.  It's bicycle inner tubes. They had no idea what would happen. Check the sand bags holding in place the landing strip.   America's    1st Aircraft Carrier  Eugene Ely takes his Curtiss pusher airplane off    The deck of USS Birmingham on 14  November 1910.    It was the first airplane takeoff from a warship. He flew for two miles before landing on a Willoughby Spit  Beach.    It was a big success so they decided to continue the experiment But this time, a plane had to land on a ship.    On 18 January 1911, Eugene Ely lands with the same  Plane on USS Pennsylvania, making this first  Landing on a warship in history and a historical  Event.   Notice his "life vest" (bicycle inner tubes!)
