Original 1910 real photo postcard (RPPC) showing aviation pioneer Glenn H. Curtiss in flight over Lake Keuka at Hammondsport, New York—the birthplace of Curtiss’ groundbreaking experiments in powered flight. The handwritten caption reads:“G.H. Curtiss flying over Lake Keuka at Hammondsport, N.Y. Copyright 1910 H.M. Benner.”This exceptional image captures Curtiss mid-air in one of his early biplanes, an aircraft featuring exposed framework, dual wings, and a rear-mounted propeller typical of his designs. The photograph is credited to H.M. Benner, a known regional photographer who documented Curtiss’ flight tests and public exhibitions during the formative years of American aviation.Glenn Curtiss (1878–1930) was one of the most influential figures in early aviation, often called the “Father of Naval Aviation.” In 1908, he set world speed records and later made the first successful public flight in America. His Hammondsport workshops became the foundation for what would evolve into the Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company, a major aircraft manufacturer during World War I.Printed on period postcard stock with “POST CARD” in early Art Nouveau font and an undivided back, this card dates firmly to the pre-WWI era of aviation history. The handwritten note on the reverse reads, “Miss this second, H.J.B.”, adding a personal historical touch.A remarkable and highly collectible artifact from the dawn of flight—perfect for aviation enthusiasts, Curtiss historians, or collectors of early American technology and invention.Details:Type: Real Photo Postcard (RPPC)Date: 1910 (copyrighted by H.M.
