Photo #: NH 99854
U.S. Navy Aircraft C-5 (Curtiss F-Type flying boat)
Taxies past a destroyer, circa 1914.
Location may be Pensacola, Florida, which was visited by the
Atlantic Fleet Torpedo Flotilla in April 1914.
This photo is one of a series from the collection of a USS Walke
(Destroyer # 34) crewmember, which was one of the three-stack
destroyers of the type seen in this photo.
Though this aircraft was redesignated AB-5 in March 1914, "USN
C-5" is clearly marked on its rudder.
