SUCCESSFUL AVIATOR ON COAST |
MARCH 21, 1914--Duluth Herald--page 3 |
WEBSTER AND HIS AERO- PLANE The young aviator has two brothers in Duluth, Fred and Victor. In a letter to them, he speaks very interestingly of his aviation tests. "I have passed all tests in flying for my license," he said, "and broke the school record for altitude tests. The test calls for two sets of five figure eights, landing within a 100 foot circle, |
DULUTH AVIATOR MAKING FLIGHT "I made eight figure 8's and a large circle at the 900 feet, cut off switch at 250 feet. I made one large circle and climbed to 1,400 feet and shut off the motor at 1,000 feet, making a steep glide and a good landing. The last record was 1,100 feet and a cut switch at 600 feet. I climbed the 1,400-foot flight in four minutes, which is a record for this machine. "I can handle the flying boat very well now and made a flight today of about twelve miles and succeeding in making good landings." |
