Dummy Oscar,Army Air Corps,Paul Garber,Assistant Curator,Smithsonian,1939

Title: Dummy Oscar ready for Army Air Corps anniversary. Washington, D.C., June 30. Dummy Oscar, jauntily attired in the now antiquated army aviator's uniform of the first decade of the 20th century, sits clasping the sticks of the army's first airplane in readiness for the 30th anniversary of the birth of the Army Air Corps early in August. Paul Garber, Assistant Curator in charge of the Smithsonian aircraft collection, is shown with the dummy in the plane built by the Wright Brothers and accepted by the government in 1909. The plane now in the Smithsonian Institution is the same one used in the test flights at Fort Meyer, VA. by Orville Wright
