Gonzales 1912

1910: Arthur and Willie Gonzales, 435 16th Ave, San Francisco CA. 1915: (Flying School) Los Angeles CA. 1920: Ended operations.

1912 = 1pOB; 35hp Kemp I-4; span: 38'9" length: 35'0". Flown for a few years around Woodland CA, to where the brothers boxed and shipped the airplane by rail since San Francisco had an ordinance at the time prohibiting flying machines within city limits. Ultimately stored in a shed until 1974, when it was rebuilt as a static display at Travis (AFB) Air Museum.
