EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing photograph, aviation pioneer Glenn Curtiss (1878-1930) is seen seated in one of his Wind Wagons, a land vehicle designed for testing aircraft engines and propellers, alongside Thomas Scott Baldwin (1875-1936). The year is circa 1906, and this historic moment took place away from the spotlight, long before the commercial aviation industry took shape. Glenn Curtiss, an American inventor and aviation pioneer, is best known for his contributions to aviation technology, including the development of the first successful seaplane and the creation of the Curtiss Motorcycle Company. In this image, he is seen testing his innovative designs in a more unusual setting – on ice. The Wind Wagons, powered by Curtiss's airship engines and propellers, were used in conjunction with ice boats, which were piloted by Captain Thomas Scott Baldwin. Captain Baldwin, also known as "Captain Baldy," was an accomplished ice boat racer and aeronautical engineer. He was not related to F.W. Casey Baldwin, who later became a well-known aviator in the Aerial Experiment Association (AEA). Instead, Baldwin played a crucial role in testing Curtiss's airship engines and propellers for his experimental airships. The collaboration between Curtiss and Baldwin was a significant step towards advancing the technology of the day, paving the way for future aviation milestones. This fascinating photograph offers a unique glimpse into the early days of aviation history, showcasing the determination and ingenuity of two pioneers working together to push the boundaries of what was possible in the realm of flight.
