Abstract

A crowd of people gather on the beach to watch as the Benoist Model 14-B airboat prepares for flight while a man records on a camera. The plane is a full-size replica of the Benoist XIV No. 43 flown by Anthony H. "Tony" Jannus in the world's first commercial airline flight across Tampa Bay from St. Petersburg to Tampa, Florida, on January 1, 1914. The replica was built to reenact the flight for its 50th anniversary circa 1963-1964.
