Model for silver anniversary of commercial aviation. Washington, D.C., Dec. 29. New Years Day will mark the 25th anniversary of commercial aviation. The first passenger air line was established between St. Petersburg, and Tampa, Fla. with Tony Jannus, a Washington, D.C., boy, piloting the plane. Paul E. Garber of the U.S. National Museum has secured this model of the original Benoist plane, which was used on the first flight, for the national Aircraft Collection of which he has charge. The model will be formally presented to the museum by officials of the state of Florida at the Annual Convention of the National Aeronautic Association Jan. 15-17 at ST. Louis, the city where the original plane was manufacture red, 122938

Airplanes - Historical - Wright Brothers' Aeroplane. Dayton-Wright Airplane Co. Plant, Dayton, Ohio. May 14 -18, 1918. Historical Note: The Wright Company manufactured aeroplanes under their own name until about 1916, then a merger was made with Glenn Martin to form the Wright Martin Company. Glenn Martin reformed that company under his name alone and the next appearance of the name Wright came soon after the opening of World War-1 when the Dayton Wright Co was formed. Their principal product was De Haviland airplanes (English design general purpose type). The aeroplane shown had been reframed by Orville Wright as his personal plane, but was not the property of D.W. Co. In this photo Orville has the controls; the plane is pitted with his automatic stabilizer

America's youth builds and flies model planes on miniature flying fields. This flying model plane, which has a wing span of 9 1/2 feet (2.85 meters) was the largest model to enter a recent competitive meet at Modelhaven Airport near the city of Baltimore in the eastern state of Maryland. Model building has long been a popular hobby among American youth, and boys who a few years ago were building their miniature planes in home and school workshops are now putting that experience to practical use in airplane factories or in the armed forces. When the U.S. government in 1941 called on model plane builders to turn out 800,000 scale model airplanes for use by the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Army, and civilian defense groups to train their personnel to recognize hostile and friendly aircraft, it was estimated that there were nearly three million American youths actively interested in aero-modelling

America's youth builds and flies model planes on miniature flying fields. A member of the San Antonio Gas Model Club, which does its weekly flying at Kelly Field in the city of San Antonio in the southwestern U.S. state of Texas, proudly displays his amphibian model airplane, which has a six foot (1.8 meters) wing spread. When an earlier model crashed there was nothing left but one good wing. This young model enthusiast decided to build a new plane around it. He built an amphibian and turned out a perfect flying job. The plane is made of balsa wood covered with silk and waterproofing material. Like millions of other young Americans who make model building their hobby, this young man will be called upon to put his practical experience in aeronautics to use in the air-minded post war world

America's youth builds and flies model planes on miniature flying fields. This young American aviation enthusiast, Orin Anderson, poses behind his giant model plane at Kelly Field in the city of San Antonio in the southwestern U.S. state of Texas where members of the Gas Model Club do their weekly flying. Model building has long been a major hobby of American youth, who in 1941 answered a request from the U.S. government to turn out 800,000 scale model airplanes for use by the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Army, and civilian defense groups to train military and civilian personnel to recognize hostile and friendly aircraft. Boys who had learned the principles of model building in home and school workshops turned out scale models of fighters, scouts, fighter bombers, bombers, torpedo carriers, and commercial planes of the United Nations and of the enemy

The new 'flying tube' airship. Washington, D.C., Mar. 14. Immediate commercial development of a new lighter-than-air airship of novel design, which its engineering sponsors believe will revolutionize air transportation, bringing safety, speed, load capacity, and easy maneuverability to airship performance, was announced today. Air sucked through the tube will create a vacuum in front and give a propulsive kick at the outlet. Universal joints will be located at the entrance and exit of the tube, moving in any direction of the air intake and outlet, thus steering the flying tube. The ship will be entirely metal clad and the lifting power will be helium gas in aluminum partitions. Garret W. Peck, designer and vice pres. in charge of construction, left; and Clifford C. Jones, specialist with the Inter-Ocean Dirigible Corp., right, with the working model of the ship

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, space shuttle Atlantis' main engines and solid rocket boosters ignite on Launch Pad 39A leaving behind a billow of steam as it lifts off on its STS-135 mission to the International Space Station. Atlantis with its crew of four; Commander Chris Ferguson, Pilot Doug Hurley, Mission Specialists Sandy Magnus and Rex Walheim, lifted off at 11:29 a.m. EDT on July 8, 2011 to deliver the Raffaello multi-purpose logistics module packed with supplies and spare parts for the International Space Station. Atlantis also will fly the Robotic Refueling Mission experiment that will investigate the potential for robotically refueling existing satellites in orbit. In addition, Atlantis will return with a failed ammonia pump module to help NASA better understand the failure mechanism and improve pump designs for future systems. STS-135 is the 33rd flight of Atlantis, the 37th shuttle mission to the space station, and the 135th and final mission of NASA's Space Shuttle Program.
