- "Harvey W. Kays Piloting a Curtiss Flying Boat over Lake Keuka, November 12, 1912" - In addition to his pioneering work with aileron control surfaces, Glenn Curtiss designed and built some of the earliest seaplanes in the United States. His first experiments involved little more than strapping a canoe to the bottom of a standard airplane. But by 1911, the potential of Curtiss's flying boats had earned him a contract with the U.S. Navy.

- Before the 319-Foot Flight of "Red Wing," Keuka Lake, New York, March 12, 1908 - In 1907, Alexander Graham Bell recruited a team of young aviation enthusiasts for his elite Aerial Experiment Association (AEA). At the Hammondsport, New York, facilities of Glenn Curtiss, the group's "motor expert," the AEA produced a string of airplanes (starting with <em>Red Wing</em>, pictured here) that contributed key developments to the fledgling field of aviation.
