An early example of shooting motion pictures from an airplane. This rig required only one person on the airplane, since the camera was motor-driven. The Burgess hydroaeroplane (float plane) used Wright-type controls. Phillips Ward Page was a pioneering flier who lived long enough to became a naval aviator in World War One. He died in a flight accident during the war.
