CURTISS PUSHER
Glenn Curtiss is one of the most significant names in the early history of aviation, and a great rival of the Wright Brothers. One of his most significant contributions was the development of the aileron. Manufactured in Hammondsport, NY, the Museum’s 1911 Curtiss Pusher is one of the oldest original airplanes in our collection. It was once owned by John Kaminski, the first licensed pilot in Wisconsin and later owned by Dale Crites of Waukesha, WI, who regularly flew it at air shows.

“I Learned about Flying from That”- by: Barry Ross

For the past 25 years Barry has illustrated Flying magazine’s monthly feature “I Learned About Flying From That”. These accounts of pilot’s sometimes hair-raising, sometimes funny and always educational experiences are the basis for the paintings that are featured here. He has tried to evoke both the risk and thrill of flight, capture the moment when things have gone awry, and yet give the viewer a hopeful feeling that the crisis will be satisfactorily resolved.
