Uncle Sam's Aero Boat Experiments At Washington
In Washington foreign officials observed Navy tests of a new catapult for launching aeroplanes from ships. Captain W L Chambers designed the device, a compressed air gun stored below deck. The Glenn Curtiss aero boat, with Lieut Theodore Ellyson piloting, achieved a successful flight, reaching fifty miles on water and sixty on air. The system clamps to a turret and fires into wind, enabling shipboard launches without moving the vessel. Ellyson, the Navy’s first aviator, volunteered for early trials and helped advance practical sea launching methods.
