Abstract

Pilot Anthony H. "Tony" Jannus poses with a passenger on the Benoist AirBoat No. 43 while a young boy and two others stand nearby in Tampa, Florida. The young boy (second from left) is potentially 10-year-old Judy Bryan, to whom Jannus reportedly gifted his broken goggles and a Benoist pennant from the plane on January 1, 1914 when Jannus piloted it on the world's first commercial airline flight.
