Balloon flight prep at Fort Myer by Capt Baldwin
Work to inflate the big gas bag of Captain Thomas S Baldwin's airship begins this morning at Fort Myer. The tented balloon housing arrived yesterday and will be pitched today. By Monday, barring accidents, Baldwin plans his first flight. Lieutenant Frank Lahm, in charge of tests at Fort Myer, will be in New York for the Farman flight tomorrow and return by Monday.
