Today In History - March 12, 1908

The first flight of the first airplane built by the U.S. Aerial Experiment Association.

The flight took place when Casey Baldwin flew the Red Wing (named after the red silk on the wings)(Aerodrome No.1).  The craft was the be flown from frozen lake Keuka, with runners for landing gear. It took off from the lake, flew 318 feet on its first flight and was slightly damaged in landing.

Its second flight, after repairs, covered only 120 feet and crashed because of unfavorable winds. The Red Wing was completely destroyed.

Greenwood Military Aviation Museum Bolingbroke Restoration Project
Written by Malcolm Ulhman - Canada's Air Force   
Tuesday, 02 March 2010
Ironically the Bolingbroke/Blenheim was an aircraft obsolete before the first unit was rolled off the assembly line! Despite being the fastest aircraft in the British inventory, the first forays into enemy territory during the opening salvos of World War II the enemy proved to have faster more agile aircraft. Nevertheless, almost 7000 Blenheims were manufactured in many countries and almost 700 Bolingbrokes were produced in Canada. At this stage in history the aviation industry virtually exploded with faster fighter and larger bomber aircraft. The Bolingbroke became one of the first multi-role aircraft and was ordered by the RCAF in 1939 to replace the Anson, constructed largely of wood and thus not as durable as the all-aluminum Bolingbroke. This then is a natural progression for the Greenwood Military Aviation Museum, linking with the Anson and the Lancaster as aircraft flown from Greenwood. To date there are a mere half dozen Bolingbrokes at various stages of restoration in Canada.
