Photos of the Navy’s 1st Aircraft Carrier<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eugene Ely takes his Curtiss pusher airplane off from the deck of USS Birmingham on 14 November 1910.<\/p>\n

It was the First airplane takeoff from a warship. He flew for two miles before landing on a Willoughby Spit beach.<\/p>\n

It was a big success and so they decided to continue experiment. But this time, a plane had to land on a ship.<\/p>\n

It happens on 18 January 1911 – 101 years ago, Eugene Ely lands with the same plane on USS Pennsylvania, making this first landing on a warship in history and a historical event.<\/p>\n
