First Trap Hoodie

1911 Curtiss Model D Pusher · The first arrested landing was not a Navy exercise. On 18 January 1911, a civilian named Eugene Ely flew a Curtiss pusher onto a wooden platform over the stern of USS Pennsylvania at anchor in San Francisco Bay. Hooks on the gear caught ropes weighted with sandbags; he was aboard at 11:01 and back in the air before noon. Ely was not a naval aviator, and this collection is not a recruiting shirt. The chest is the date of the first trap. Hoodie, sixty-eight dollars.
