| Only recently licensed as a pilot, Kaminski experienced some difficulty with his plane during the two-day aviation meet at the 1912 Wisconsin State Fairgrounds. Some of the problems were the result of inexperience, others were probably caused by the necessity of entirely dismantling the plane in order to move it long distances. |
