Thomas Schweibert - June 15, 1936

I, Thomas Schwiebert, residing at 1871 Fairfield in Bridgeport, Ct. recall seeing an airplane flight made by the late Gustave Whitehead approximately thirty-five years ago. I was a boy at the time, playing on a lot near the Whithead shop on Cherry Street, and recall the incident wells as we were surprised to see the plane leave the ground. It traveled a distance of approximately three hundred feet, and at a height of approximately fifteen feet in the air, to the best of my recollection.
