The Wright B Aeroplanes:
The Wright B aeroplanes, ordered for the Army Aviation School at the College Park Airfield in 1911, were designated as Signal Corps #3 and #4. These aeros had a structure similar to that of the Wright Military Flyer (1909) except for a few fundamental changes. One of the most important was the relocation of the elevator from the front to the rear of the aero. Wheels were also added to the undercarriage of the plane, as was a more powerful engine that enabled the Wright B to take off on its own power. |
