World first indoor airplane flight at Panama-Pacific Exposition
Lincoln Beachey, the American aviator, made the world first indoor flight inside the Palace of Machinery at the Panama Pacific Exposition in San Francisco. He rose to about fifty feet and flew 300 feet, tearing through cloth barriers as assistants feared impact. The craft, with a hundred horsepower engine, faced additional difficulty from the building’s three wide aisles and tall columns.
