California ship in flight- One view at close range showing aeroplanes
The other view shows ship directly overhead at 500 feet altitude

[[caption to photo 3] Ship designed and constructed at Los Angeles, Cal., during winter of 1905-6. This type of ship was found to be most successful, as absolute control was possible without leaving the seat. A flight lasting 20 minutes was made within the base ball enclosure. Another was made to the foot of Mt. Wilson a distance of 24 miles.
