In September 1911, James Ward took off from Governor’s Island, heading north in his Curtiss Transcontinental Flyer in an attempt to fly from New York to San Francisco. He dubbed the aircraft the Hearst Pathfinder, a nod to William Randolph Hearst, publisher of the NY Daily Mirror, who sponsored the race to fly across the U.S. Postcards from that era show Ward in a field behind the Callicoon seminary, surrounded by curious onlookers, as he made repairs to his aircraft after landing there. This is a striking look at how fragile the plane was. One man described it as a “jig-saw puzzle with motor,” when he watched Ward assemble the parts at an exhibition in Michigan before taking off in it. Ward started his transcontinental journey on September 13, but withdrew from the race September 22 after experiencing a crash (from which he walked away apparently unscathed). He was still in New York State.
