Wrights aeroplane soars over New York harbor test flight
The article recounts Wilbur Wright’s aeroplane flight over the Hudson River near New York. It notes the display surpassed the border between curiosity and practicality, likening it to the Blériot Channel crossing but with greater wartime and civil potential. The flight lasted thirty three minutes and thirty three seconds, passing harbor craft and skyscrapers, and ending with a landing near the monorail. Public reaction questioned practical value, but Wright expressed confidence in future improvements to meet military and civilian needs.
