Kimball New York No.1

Wilbur R. Kimball’s 1909 aeroplane “New York No.1” at Morris Park, New York, during its christening by the well-known Ziegfield Follies showgirl Anna Held on March 12, 1909. With eight 4-bladed propellers driven by one engine; the machine was built at Morris Park under the direction of the American Aeronautic Society but appears not to have flown with any great success.
