Wright and Curtiss Spark Early Air Rivalry on New York Flight Day
Airmen Wright and Curtiss staged three spectacular flights from Governor's Island with Wright circling Liberty Island and pacing Curtiss, while spectators marveled at speed and control. A dirigible race toward Albany faltered as balloons faced weather, and balloon crews rescued a damaged craft off the Hudson. Tomlinson and Baldwin suffered leaks and missteps, though no one was seriously hurt amid a tense pursuit of a $10,000 prize.
