Flight 1930-01 / Flight
The Early - Pre-Twenty-One! - experiments of Jose Weiss, with his bird-like gliders, are well known. In 1910 a power-driven machine (40 h.p. E.N.V.) embodying his theories was built, and, piloted by Gordon England, several successful flights were made, mostly at Brooklands in 1911 - one of these latter being depicted in our photo.
