A small aircraft Curtis Model D (also called the Curtis Pusher) is midair over the water just off the deck of the USS Birmingham, the ship in the foreground.

  Biographical / Historical

  Eugene Burton Ely (1886-1911) was a civilian stunt pilot. The first flight off the USS Bermingham was launched from an improvised wooden ramp, and due to the plane dipping down on launch, the landing gear touched the water. Ely managed to land safely on a nearby beach. Two months after the first attempt, he landed the Curtis Pusher on the USS Pennsylvania in the first succesful ship landing. He was awarded the Distingusihed Flying Cross for his pioneering flights.
