He was from Iowa and the first Aviator to land on and take off from a ship, in 1911. I was thumbing through an old Time / Life "Epic Of Flight" book my Mom bought me back in 1984 and saw a photo of Ely. I went to Youtube and found a 1hr 6 min semibar by a guy who wrote a book on Ely. VERY good video! Ely was born in Williamsburg and raised in Davenport
