Bert Beavers is shown seated in his monoplane, a date-stamped portrait of an early aviator at the controls of his machine in June 1910. Aircraft of that year were fragile, wire-braced craft with open cockpits, and pilots often flew for exhibitions and crowds at county fairs and race meetings, where a monoplane like this one drew attention. The photograph's copyright line credits Morgan of Scranton, pointing to a Pennsylvania studio that documented local aviation. The caption information is old and not fully verified, so the exact circumstances of the flight are best read as a record of the period's early flying.
