Knabenshue's Airship At Brockton Fair
Fabulously unreal cigar-shaped balloon with pilot in dark profile over strangely gray landscape of house and trees. Is the image manipulated or not? Augustus Roy Knabenshue piloted the first successful dirigible in America at the St. Louis World’s Fair in 1904. Knabenshue later flew airplanes and was hired as manager of the "Wright Brothers’ Traveling Exhibition" team. "Photo by D.T. Burrell."…… See http://brocktonmagenealogy.tripod.com/search/feb02.html for more info on Augustus Knabenshue.
