2 April 1914

The 1903 Langley Aerodrome was sent by the Smithsonian Institution to the Curtiss Aeroplane Company at Hammondsport, NY on April 2, 1914 for modification, testing and evaluation. Curtiss substituted hydroplaning floats for the original catapult launch system and flew the machine in late-May.
