| The compensation offered exhibition pilots was considerable ($700 less 10% for only two days of flying by Kaminski), but it was probably in keeping with the danger faced. Some pilots, like the famous Lincoln Beachey became wealthy. Kaminski looked forward to this exhibition because it promised an opportunity to fly with Beachey. Ultimately damage to his plane kept Kaminski grounded. |
