HOW MAN HAS TRIED TO
CONQUER THE AIR
LEGENDS CONCERNING AVIATORS
DATE BACK TO ANCIENT BRITAIN
AND ITALY —MODERN PROGRESS
IN THE ART OF FLYING.
In his book, "The Progress in Flying
Machines," published in 1894, Octave
Chanute, one of the most famous of the
pioneers of aviation, traces inan's ef-
forts.to conquer the air from the be-
ginning of the Roman era,
"Passing over as too scanty of re-
cord the myths of antiquity," Chanute
wrote, "perhaps the earlie;t legend of
an experiment which we may fairly sup-
pose to.have been tried with an airplane
Is stated to be found in the somewhat
fabulous chornicles of Britain wherein
ii is related that King Bladud, the father
of King Lear, who is supposed to have
reigned in Britain about the time of the
founding of Rome, caused to be built
an apparatus with which he sailed in
the air above the chief city of Trin-
ovante, but that losing his balance he
fellupon a temple and was killed. This
is about all there is of the legend.
"A better authenticated legend seems
to be that of Simon the Magician, who
in the 13th year of the reign of the
Emperor Nero (about 67 A, D.) un-
dertook to rise toward Heaven like a
bird in the presence of everybody. The
legend relates that 'the people assem-
bled to view so extraordinary a phen-
omenon, and Simon rose into the air
through the assistance of the demons
M the presence of an enormous crowd,
but that St. Peter having offered up
a 'prayer, the action of the demons
ceased and the magician was crushed
in the fall and perished instantly.'
"It seems, therefore, certain from
this tale. which has conte down to us
without any material alteration, that
even in that barbarous age a man
succeeded in rising into the air from

the earth by some means which have
unfortunately remained unknown,
"There is a tradition of the iith
century concerning Oliver of Malmes-
bury who, in some of the accounts, is
styled 'Elnterus de Malemeria,' and
who was an English Benedictine
monk, said to have been a deep student
of mathematics and of astrology, there
by earning the reputation of a wizard
The legend relates that having manu-
factured some wings, modeled after the
description that Ovid has given of those
of Daedalus, and'having fastened them i
to his hands, he sprang from the top of
a tower against the wind. He suc-I
ceeded in sailing a distance of 1251
paces, but either through the intpet-
uoisty or whidling of the wind, or

audacious enterprise, ne fell to the
milt and broke his legs,
i'A more explicit 'tradition or the
same kind comes from 'Constantinople'
where under the reign of the Em-
peror Manuel Comnnenus, probably
about the year 1178, a Saracen (re-
ported to a magician of course), whose
name is not given, undertook to sailln
to the air from the top of the tower of
the Hippodrome in the presence of the
Emperor, a t1 •.r 'The Saracen
kept extending his arms to fetch the
wind. At last when he deemed it fav-
orable, he rose into the air, like a bird,
but his flight was as unfortunate as
that of Isarus, for the weight of his
body having more power to drew him
down that his artificial wings tad to
sustain him he fell and broke his bones,
etc.
"One of the most celebrated tradi-
tions of partial success with a flying
machine refers to J. B. Dante, an
Italian mathematician of Perugia, who
towards the end of the fourteenth cen-
tury, seems to have succeeded in con-
structing a set of artificial wings with
which he sailed over the neighboring
lake of Trasimene. We have no des-
cription of the apparatus, but this was
presumably an aeroplane, soaring upon
the wind, for we have seen abundantly
that all experiments have failed with
flapping wings, man not having the
strength to vibrate with sufficient ra-
pidity a surface sufficient to carry his
weight in the air."
The earliest attempt at aviation on a
considerable scale dates back to 1843
when Henson, the Englishman. Legan
the designing di what was to become
famous in aeronautical history as Hen -
son's Aerostat. Henson was one of
the first aerial pioneers to combine
aerial screws with extensive supporting
structures, occupying a nearly horizon-
tal position. Henson's apparatus, ac-
cording
scording to the patent papers, consist-
ed of an aeroplane of canvas or oiled
silk stretched upon a frame made rigid
by trussing, both above and below.
Under this was to have attached a car
which was to house the steam engine

Lieut. Harris said that there were
many difficulties experienced in the
kite flying at sea, but thanks to the
'valuable assistance of Captain Ham-
ilton and.other members of the 010
staff everything worked out remark-
ably well, It is a far different
thing, he stated, to fly amonster kite
from a moving, lurching ship than
Reis from the steady ground. 1.t is
very difficult to get the kite away
from the ship, and for a long time
he had to puzzle out a method of
getting the recording• instruments up
to the Rite after the ascent had been
successfully made. To the best
of his knowledge, kites had
been flown from ships only once
before, and that long before the pre-
sent war. During the voyage across
he had made several altitude flights
of 7,800 feet, and many over 6,000
feet.
The air service mentioned abbve,
he added, wilt be used and charted
for every sea and will cover a ser-
vice of airships and the larger hea-
vier-than-air craft, as well as 'planes.
His records made during the voyage
across are in rough shape and of
course nothing can be published tee
seeding the trip until the official re-
ports have been passed through the
ministry at London. But, he added,
"I am very well pleased with the ren
stilts obtained and I can state with-
out qualification that the expedition,

experimentation to the science of
aviation'and after, them came the
Wright b
brothers, the famous Dayton
fliers, whose genius developed the
glider into a successful flying una-
chi ne, The Wrights began their ex-
periments in 1900 and early intro-
duced two characteristic features, a
horizontal rudder for steering in the
vertical plane and the flexing or bend-
ing of the end of the mein supporting
airplanes its a means of maintaining the
necessary balance in the air,
In 1903, following a long series
of successful glider experiments,
came the first great historic flight
of a heavier than air machine, when
on December 17 a Wright biplane,
piloted by Orville Wright, remained
in the air fifty-nine seconds and cov-
ered a distance of 532 feet . A year
later Orville Wright, also at Dayton,
negotiated a flight of nearly three
smiles. In the following year the
Wright brothers made forty-five
flights, the longest of which was
24,01 miles, covered in 38 minutes
and 3 seconds. This flight was made
at Dayton, October S. The second
longest flight of that year was made
at Dayton, October 4, when Orville
Wright piloted the biplane 20,70
miles in thirty-three minutes and
seventeen seconds,
These three years, 1903, 1904 and
1905, marked the beginning of the
real aviation era. In these years the
Wright brothers worked •secrectly and
very little information as to their
achievements reached the general pub-
lic.
Tice chronological story of the air-
plane since that time is as follows:
1906
March 12.—Orville and Wilbur
Wright filed with the Aero Club of
America a report in which were given
the details of the flight of twenty-
four miles made in a biplane by Or-
ville Wright this being the greatest
feat in the hisory of aviation up to
that time. This was the 1905 flight
already referred to .

that was to generate the motive power.
The machine was to be propelled by
two rotating wheels, acting upon the
air in the manner of windmills. Back of
it all was a tail, Also covered with can-
vas or oiled silk, stretched upon a
triangular frame, -and capable of being
expanded or contracted, or proved up
and down, for the purpose of causing
the machine to ascend or decent. The
Henson machine, however, was never
constructed.
Associated with Henson in working
out his experiments was another Eng-
lishman, Stringfellow, who, in 1847,
built a successful flying model. In
5866 F. H. Wenhsun, also an English-
man seeking ilo limprove upon tI3e
work of Henson and Stringfellow, fn -
vented an apparatus that he called
Wenham's aeroplane, in 1865 String-
fellow built a second model, which com-
bined the aeroplane of Wenham with
aerial screws. This model was exhib-
ited in Crystal Palace, London, and was
awarded a prize of E100 for its engine.
The machine as shown in photographs,
comprised three superimposed aero-
planes, with tail and screw propellers,
approaching nearer than any other
apparatus up to that time the con-
struction of the airplane of he pres-
ent day.
In 1874 Thomas Moy designed
e hat is known in aviation records as
L,y's aerial steamer. The machine
consisted of a)ight powerful skele-
ton frame resting on three wheels,
light•engine constructed on a new
principle, two long, narrow harf-
effetal aeroplanes and very large
aerial screws. Moy's idea was to get
initial velocity by a run on the ground,
an idea that was subsequently proved
correct by the inevntinn of the Wright
Brothers,
in 1889 and 1890 the experiments
.;f Professor S. P. Langley and of Sir
Hiram Maxim began. Professor Lang-
ely was secretary of the Smithsonian
Institution in Washington, and in the
course of his experimentsmade many
small models and one large flying
plane, He called them aerOdrontes.
All were built on a common princi-
ple and were provided 'with extensive
flying surfaces in the shape of rigid
planes inclined at an upward angle
to the horizon and stare or less fixed
on the plan of Henson. The small
Langley models were fiowen in the
lecture room of the Smithsonian in-
stitution and' the large one on the
Potomac 40 utiles below Washington.
Langley tested steam -driven ma-
chines built of steel and aluminum
in 1893, In 1896 one of tine Langley
machines flew for half a mile, the
greatest feat accomplished by a heav-
ier than air machine up to that time.
Congress appropriated 850,000 for a
Langley aerodrome of sufficient pow-
er to carry passengers and to be used
for military purposes, The machine
proved a failure.
The machine designed by Sir
Hiram Maxim consisted of a plat-
form on which stood a large water
tube boiler,. a number of concave -
convex airplanes arranged in tiers
like shelves, and two very large ver-
tical screws placed aft and propelled
by steam engines. A trial of the ma-
chine was carried out at Bexley, Eng-
land, in 1894 and ended in failure.
Next followed the experiment of
Chanute, Ottto Lillienthal, and Percy
Pilcher, all of these mien contribut-
ing much in the way of successful
