Glenn Curtiss
Glenn Hammond Curtiss (Hammondsport (New York, USA), May 21, 1878 - Buffalo (New York, USA), July 23, 1930) was an aviation pioneer.
In 1903, Glen Curtiss, racing cyclist and bicycle salesman, switched to motorcycling and became a manufacturer.
In 1906, after meeting the Wright brothers, he became a builder of airplanes which he built in two months. In August 1909, at the “great aviation week” in Reims-Betheny, he won the first Gordon-Bennett trophy.
On January 26, 1911, in San Diego, he took off from the surface of the ocean and landed next to the battleship Pennsylvania. Hoisted on board then put back in the water, it reaches the coast by air. Curtiss had an official document drawn up stating that he was the first to have flown in a seaplane. Unfortunately for him, on March 28, 1910, the Frenchman Fabre achieved the same feat on the Etang de Berre.
