Curtiss Aviation School Students
Image
The 1912 class at the Glenn Curtiss Aviation School on North Island, near San Diego. Milwaukee's John Kaminski (in white shirt and tie) is second from the left. Unlike the previous year's class, which was almost entirely comprised of students from the military, the Kaminski's class was a disparate, international group. From the left they are: Barlow, Kaminski, Smith, Russell, Mohan Singh (India), Lansing Callan, Julia Clark, and K Takeshi (Japan).
