Airship Flight Record Broken Over Chicago by Horace Wild
Horace Wild purportedly set a distance record in an airship he built while flying over Chicago. His first leg reached about eleven miles at roughly 1,500 feet, then a power failure forced a safe landing on a flat building roof after weaving past steeples and smokestacks. He repaired the craft and continued, adding five more miles before a third leg toward the lake.
