	Lawrence Hargrave, Australian aviation pioneer, 1850-1915
		In the 1890s a small number of inventive technologists were working to translate infant aviation theory into airplanes.
		The French (who thought that France was the cradle of aviation) freely acknowledged Hargrave's influence: Alberto Santos-Dumont was the first European to fly a heavier-than-air machine constructed of Hargrave box kites in 1906.
		While the Wright brothers denied that they owed anything to Hargrave, his discovery of the cellular kite and his investigations into the superiority of curved wing surfaces played an important part in European experimental work which culminated in the first public flight by Santos-Dumont in France in 1906.

	From the "Gateway News"
		In late 1915, Tom Benoist, St. Louis' earliest aeronautical entrepreneur, had arranged to construct his large Type 15 twin engine, six-seat flying boat in the St. Louis Car shops, lacking sufficient room in his own facilities.
		The company remained dormant until the so-called "Lindbergh Boom" in aviation developed in the wake of Lindbergh's heroic solo flight from New York to Paris in May, 1927.
		An ingredient of this surge in aviation activity was the advent of powerful, reliable, air-cooled radial powerplants to replace the bulkier W.W. I-vintage water-cooled OX-5 and Liberty engines.
