Subject: 1915 Airship Over Panama
Here is another report from Dr. Bullard:
Winnipeg MANITOBA FREE PRESS, 27 March 1915, Saturday,
page 1.
AEROPLANE AT PANAMA
Canal Authorities Searching Vigorously for Unwelcome Visitor
Panama, March 26.--The military and canal authorities are
investigating a report reaching headquarters from the officers
of the lock guard that an aeroplane has been seen flying over
the Pedro Miguel and the Miraflores locks.
Major General George W. Goethals, governor of the canal zone,
and Brigadier General Clarence B. Edwards, commander of the United
States forces in the isthmus, both detailed men to make an exhaustive
search fro the machine, which is said to have been seen and heard
over the locks last night. The air craft is also reported to have
flown over Hill 15, which is heavily entrenched and located to the
east of the Pedro Miguel locks, of whose defense it forms a part.
It is known that a Bleriot machine is owned on the isthmus at
present, but its whereabouts has not yet been ascertained.
Possibly the investigation of this sighting survives in
official files.
The reports from this era are interesting as many are
found almost world-wide. The age of flight certainly captured
the popular imagination everywhere.
