DISCOVERED---MORE EARLY BIRDS
Clair F. Horton, now superintendent of repairs at the Air Corps repair depot in San Antonio,
began at Hammondsport in 1908 and eventually soloed in a Curtiss seaplane, June 15, 1914, in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Then followed
long journeys about the country in exhibitions. The Philadelphia Inquirer, of May 13, 1916, tells of the presence of Admiral Peary,
the mayor and other prominent lights at the opening of the Philadelphia Aviation School at Essington, and shows the instructors as
Clair F. Horton, Earl Beers, Jack Tweed and
Walter E. Johnson, Jr.
