State Historical Museum of Iowa: Wings Over Iowa, ca. 1917 Benoist Tractor Biplane

On permanent display at the State Historical Museum of Iowa in Des Moines is a ca. 1917 Benoist Tractor Biplane.

"This red and white aircraft was built and flown by Lt. Oscar Solbrig, known as the Davenport Bird Man, and restored by Louis Anderson. It was formerly displayed at the old city museum of Davenport until 1962 when the building was torn down."

State Historical Museum of Iowa: Wings Over Iowa, ca. 1911 Curtiss Pusher Biplane

On permanent display at the State Historical Museum of Iowa in Des Moines is a ca. 1911 Curtiss Pusher Biplane.

"This Curtiss Pusher was built from a kit by brothers Arthur and Ben Klein in Treynor, Iowa. The brothers flew the plane from 1911 to 1915, but due to frequent mechanical problems the plane was disassembled, stored and then rediscovered in the 1960s."
Reference: State Historical Museum of Iowa: Wings Over Iowa, ca. 1911 Curtiss Pusher Biplane

"In 1909, the G.H. Curtiss Manufacturing Company delivered the firm's first airplane, a pusher design with elevators in the front, called the Golden Flyer, to the New York Aeronautical Society. In 1911, Curtiss began to concentrate on the military market, selling three airplanes to the U.S. Navy. Curtiss continued the evolution of the pusher design with the development of the D-II (the Golden Flyer was considered the Model D) and the D-III, to which a second set of elevators were added to the rear in place of the fixed horizontal stabilizer formerly used on the D and D-II models.

The Curtiss D-III Headless Pusher resulted from an accident incurred by noted exhibition pilot, Lincoln Beachey. While flying in a competition with a standard Curtiss D-III, Beachey hit a fence upon landing and destroyed the front elevator. Rather than drop out, Beachey continued to fly without the front elevator control and found that the aircraft performed better than before. Navy pilots had independently realized that stability was enhanced without the forward elevator and they removed them from their airplanes. Curtiss concurred with the results and began producing the 1912 Model D Headless Pusher as a new offering."

State Historical Museum of Iowa: Wings Over Iowa, ca. 1909 Bleriot XI Monoplane

On permanent display at the State Historical Museum of Iowa in Des Moines is a ca. 1909 Bleriot XI Monoplane.

"This Bleriot model was the first of Louis Bleriot’s aircraft designs to be fully successful. He proved the success of the machine by becoming the first person to cross the English Channel in an airplane 17 years before Lindbergh’s famous flight across the Atlantic Ocean. Following this success, Bleriot’s monoplanes sold well and many flying schools adopted them as standard trainers. Evert “Hud” Weeks restored this Bleriot XI to flyable condition in the late 1950s/early 1960s."
Reference: State Historical Society of Iowa, Museum Exhibits

"The Blériot Type XI was designed primarily by Raymond Saulnier, but it was a natural evolution from earlier Blériot aircraft, and one to which Louis Blériot himself made substantial contributions. Blériot achieved immortality in the Type XI on July 25, 1909, when he made the first airplane crossing of the English Channel, covering the 40 km (25 mi) between Calais and Dover in 36 minutes, 30 seconds.

The Blériot XI in the NASM collection was manufactured in 1914 and was powered by a 50-horsepower Gnôme rotary engine. The airplane was purchased by the Swiss aviator John Domenjoz, a Blériot company flight instructor. Domenjoz earned a reputation as one of the era's most celebrated stunt pilots, performing in major European cities and in North and South America through 1916, at which time he returned to France. Following wartime service as a civilian flight instructor both in France and the United States, Domenjoz made one final barnstorming tour with his Blériot in 1919."

Buckboard

Sioux City was one of many cities across the country that had a company who manufactured buckboards. Sioux City Iron was that company. Buckboards were still being made and used at the turn of the century and into the early 1900's.

At the Sioux City Public Museum, as part of the permanent exhibits is one such buckboard ca 1903:
