Eye in the Sky - Scientific Kite Flying

The May 1897 issue of The Century carried three articles by the then leading US scientific kite researchers, Scientific Kite-Flying, with Special Reference to the Blue Hill Experiments by J. B. Millet, Experiments with Kites by Hugh D. Wise and Photographing from Kites by William A. Eddy. There are however, multiple text and image references to Lawrence Hargrave and his box kites in all articles.

These pages were originally prepared by the Making of America Project at Cornell University, USA. eMail: MOA-L@cornell.edu
