a notable class of students that season, including many Canadians who later became well in World War I. In September Reinhart joined the Elton Aviation Company of Youngstown, Ohio for a few weeks, to give exhibition flights. The company had a Type-B [strikethrough]Model[strikethrough] Wright and later acquired a single-propeller Wright Type-E [strikethrough]Model[strikethrough] machine. On October 9th he had a miraculous escape flying at Lynchburg, Virginia when the plane fell out of control from 1,800 feet, turning completely over twice on the way down, but he was not injured. During the winter months of 1914-1915 Rinehart again toured throughout the south, flying exhibitions for Berger.

In the early Spring of 1915 Rinehart and Berger left for Monterey, Mexico where they had contracted to deliver some planes and supply pilots for Villa in the Mexican conflict [strikethrough]fiasco[strikethrough]. Rinehart, Eugene Heth and Farnum Fish were to do the flying and they started operations about March 1st with three Wright planes, two Model "B"s and one HS fuselage type. Rinehart had many a hair-raising experience there, being shot at in the air by both sides. About May 1st he was back in Dayton where he and Brookins taught a large glass of students at the Wright School during the summer season. That class included many Canadian, British and Japanese students.

In mid-August Rinehart was sent to New York City to assist in establishing the Hudson-Wright School using a new Wright Flying Boat. The regular pilot there was A.B. Gaines, Jr., a former Wright graduate. After some flying Rinehart returned to Dayton where the Wright School remained busy throughout the fall, with Roderick Wright as assistant instructor. Among Rinehart's students that fall was A. Roy Brown, a Canadian, who later was officially credited with shooting down Germany's foremost World War I ace, Baron von Richthofen. In October, 1915 Orville Wright sold the assets of the original Wright Company to an eastern financial group, but Rinehart continued on with the new setup in the same capacity.

The Wright winter school opened in Augusta, Georgia December 20th, 1915 with Rinehart as Chief Instructor and William B. Atwater his assistant, with 25 students. Later A.B. Gaines, Jr. also joined the School as instructor. The winter school closed about May 1st, 1916 and the summer school opened May 10th at Hempstead
