AEA June Bug
The June Bug (or Aerodrome #3) was an early aircraft designed by Glenn Curtiss and built by the Aerial Experiment Association in 1908. Curtiss himself flew it on May 21, and its performance was so encouraging that the Association decided to use the aircraft to attempt to collect the Scientific American trophy for the first flight of over 1 kilometer (3,280 ft).
