Frank Coffyn's Hydro-Aeroplane Flights (1912)
The wonderful achievements of Frank Coffyn in his hydroplane introduces to our notice a most exhilarating entertainment. He takes us in his wonderful invention far above terra firma and imparts to us a most peculiar sensation as we look down upon different points of interest, over the numerous sky-scrapers of New York City. From Governors' Island he sails us over the Statute of Liberty, the Produce Exchange, the Singer, Liberty, Park Row and numerous other babel-like business towers, all of which appear like so many distorted and toppling toys, as we view them from the different angles of his hydroplane. Flying across the East River, he suddenly darts down into the water; his hydroplane is suddenly converted into a hydro-aeroplane, and we sail over the surface of the stream as safely as we would in a boat. Like a swan the plane glides out of the water and takes us under the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges, across and over to Brooklyn.
