This very early aviation photo was in a scrapbook belonging to my grandfather.Likely taken near Jackson Center, Shelby Co., Ohio.Thanks to Rich Wallace for identifying this as the Benoist Model XII that belonged to Edward and Milton Korn.The plane crashed around 1913, killing Milton.The plane was rebuilt in 1917 or so, and put in storage until 1949-50 when it was donated to the Smithsonian.The plane was restored in 1981 or so and is currently on display in the National Air and Space Museum. |
