EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the tragic history of the Pigeon Fraser Scout 117, a pioneering aircraft produced by the Pigeon Hollow Spar Company of Boston, Massachusetts. Founded in 1830 as the Henry Pigeon Mast & Spar Co, the company had a rich history in building spars for ships before transitioning to automobiles and gondolas for airships in 1900. In the early 1910s, they ventured into the field of aviation, building four aircraft for the United States Army Aeronautical Division. The Pigeon Fraser Scout 117, delivered to Langley Field in November 1917, was one of these experimental aircraft. After being transferred to McCook Field for testing, it tragically crashed during its first flight, resulting in the death of the pilot. The United States Army Aeronautical Division rejected the design, but three of the aircraft were built, with one reportedly being a static test model, one crashing and burning in a test flight, and the whereabouts of the fourth remain imprecise. One surviving aircraft was located and restored by Cole Palen at Old Rhinebeck in the 1980s. Despite the disappointing outcome of their foray into aviation, the Pigeon Hollow Spar Company continued to build watercraft until about 1979. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the company's pioneering spirit and the risks involved in the early days of aviation history.
