Early Airboats

Found a picture of the world's first airboat ever.
Design by Glenn Curtiss
In front of the Royal Palm Hotel, 1926

Alexander Graham Bell invited the “ first” airboat in 1905. Mr. Glenn Curtis introduced them in south Florida in the 20’s.

This was on the radio, but put the kids to bed before listening, it has nothing to do with airboats...
