The first aircraft carriers

摘要

On 17 December 1903 the age of the aeroplane began. Orville and Wilbur Wright made the very first heavier-than-air flight. It made possible the developments that saw the pioneer aviators quickly advance the technology. In 1910 the Fabre Hydravion made its first flight, the first to take off and land on water. Within the week, Fabre was flying his aircraft over two miles. Not only had he invented the floatplane, but he also showed the potential of seaplanes to the world's navies.
