CAMEL MACHINES IN PLIGHT OVER A BRITISH AERODROME 



AN AIRPLANE WITH FOLDING WINGS, USED IN THE BRITISH ROYAL NAVAL 



AIR SERVICE 



The possibility of landing on the deck of a warship after a flight in air was first demon- 

 strated by the late Eugene Ely on the United States cruiser Pennsylvania, off the coast of 

 California. He alighted on a platform on that vessel without mishap to himself or his 

 machine.
