Hi!

Couldn't open content of the above list patents ?
(working with internet explorer 5.1!)
At hand of the list patents, the "Sky-Cycle" from Carl Meyers must be the one I remembered with that "Napoleon Hat" shaped balloon!
Than the Shaw picture! He manually activated his propellor!
So muscle powered propeller and surely ineffectif.
His other hand is controlling the direction wheel to turn his gondola into the wished flight direction...!

Than Stevens seems me to be than the first one who made a motorised airship flight into the USA...
Did a moment escape to my attention indeed...
But there is so little known about those early pioneers!

VBR
