01
Artifact Overview
Buyers for early airplanes were few and far between, but there was no shortage of people willing to pay to watch "birdmen" fly. Many pioneering manufacturers formed exhibition teams. These teams traveled the country and staged elaborate shows, filled with daredevil stunts, for paying audiences. It was dangerous work, but it brought considerable publicity to the budding aviation industry.
