Air Pictorial 1958-10

SHIP OF THE AIR. Another reader of Air Pictorial has sent along this "strange device" which he claims was flown at pine Point, U.S.A., in April 1930 by its "inventor", John Domenjoz. Car-towed at 50 m.p.h. on a 500-ft. cable, this "sailplane" reached an altitude of 200 ft. above the sands at Old Orchard. The idea is obvious but its fate is obscure. Readers, please advise.
