ResumoIT is with great regret that we record the death at Buffalo, U.S.A., on July 23, after an operation for appendicitis, of Mr. Glenn Hammond Curtiss, whose name, as a pioneer of flight, will always be associated with those of his countrymen, Langley and the Wright brothers. Curtiss, who was born at Hammondsport, New York, was only fifty-two years of age and was therefore somewhat younger than either of the Wrights. Like them, be began life as a bicycle repairer and then turned his attention to motor cycles, motor racing, and engine making.
