Title: Theodore Roosevelt
Caption: Theodore Roosevelt seated in an aircraft with aviator Hoxsey, in 1910. From Army and Navy Journal, 15 October 1910: "Colonel Theodore Roosevelt was up in an aeroplane for four minutes at the St. Louis aviation field on Oct. 11, with Arch Hoxsey, one of the Wrights' graduates, as pilot. The air flight of the ex-President was not scheduled and the whim to go aloft seemed to seize him suddenly as he sat in his automobile. Two circuits of the field were made at a height of about 150 feet."
Description: Photo from the Eugene B. Ely Scrapbooks, vol. III, page 37.
