Man attempts to fly the Pitt "Sky Car."

Early attempts at flight during history of aviation. The Pitt Sky Car ornithopter device is seen: A car equipped with an umbrella-like rotor intended for vertical takeoff. 'Sky car' written on a cloth sign on the chassis of the aircraft. A man in aviator's clothing seated at the controls of the machine. The powerful motions of the pulsating rotor cause the machine to rise several inches. But it simply drops to the ground again. This happens with each oscillation of the rotor. (The motor-rotor devise was invented by John W. Pitts, of Detroit, Michigan, and patented in 1926. However, as seen in these images, it was a failure.)
