Even the autogiro winced a bit and swallowed its pride when Charles W. Hall of Buffalo, aviator engineer, landed at Elmira Airport Wednesday with his newest creation, "The Goldfinch." Photo at upper left shows the new plane in which the motor and even the controls are inverted. Mr. Hall standing beside ship was an interested observer at the National Glider meet. The radio car which served so efficiently Monday in calling an ambulance to the scene of Major William L. Purcell's crash on East Hill is shown at upper right. Its operators are C. C. Kahn and E. W. Lewis. Albert E. Hastings, America's glider champion, smiles at lower right as he prepares to go aloft to do glider bombing, a stunt he originated. Mrs. Ralph S. Barnaby at lower left is making a perfect spot landing after a long glide from South Mountain.
