Henri RAGOT, 17 years old, to Try His Aeroplane at Garden City, N.Y. Article Text: New York, Dec. 26.--There is a new aeroplane at the Garden City Aviation Field, built on a principle representing what aeroplane constructors have hitherto sought to avoid, and manned by a crew that has never yet been in the air. It made its first appearance on the field yesterday morning and the few veteran aviators who are making winter quarters at Garden City saw several things in it to marvel at. The aeroplane is the invention of 17-year-old Henri RAGOT, who has been aided by his father, Louis F. RAGOT, a sculptor, and his brother Charles. The chief feature of the machine is flexible wings copied after studies of snapshots of birds by the boy. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NY-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
