Perfect Flight at First Trial at Morris Park
Dr William Greene flew a home built biplane at Morris Park race track achieving a first flight with trials extending from 75 yards to 600 feet. The craft, copied from known designs, used a 26 horsepower engine and Smith Brauner propeller. Despite a wheel damage on landing, Greene pursued a $100 prize and continued testing with growing altitude and confidence amid about 500 spectators.
