Lucky + Fiske Stabilizer." [Curtiss pilot William S. Luckey sits at the controls of a Curtiss Model D Hydro Headless aircraft (tail no. 7), prior to making a test flight at Lake Keuka, Hammondsport, New York, circa late 1914. The aircraft (one-quarter front left side view) has been fitted with an experimental Fisk Stabilizer mounted to the center upper wing. Three men at right hold back the aircraft during engine run-up.
