Seaplanes

On March 28th, 1910, the first successful seaplane take-off from
water happened at Martinque, France. The seaplane was flown
by its inventor, Henri Fabre. A powerful engine powered the first flight.
The first flight went about 600 meters. The name of the plane was
"Le Canard". It means 'duck'. On Jan. 26th, 1911, Glenn Curtiss made
 the first seaplane flight in America. Curtiss invented many flying
boats and airplanes. On March 27th, 1919, a U.S. Navy seaplane
made the first transatlantic flight.

What who where when why how
Have a nice Day!!!
