Curtiss Solves New Problem Airship Alights on Water
San Diego, January 27. Glenn L. Curtiss piloted a specially equipped aeroplane to rise from San Diego Bay, skim two miles, and land on water as easily as a gull. The craft floated, accelerated to 40 mph, then rose to 50 feet, returned for a second ascent to 100 feet, and landed near shore. Curtiss hailed the feat as a major step toward naval use, noting it enables water-launched planes to meet ships and be hoisted aboard.
