Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Flying boat soars above city, breaks pontoon in landing. Three flights across the Atlantic held no terrors for Capt. Griffith J. Powell, commander of the Imperial Airways' flying boat Cambria, but Toronto's harbor, at the exhibition grounds, presented some unseen obstacle to a perfectly planned landing at 65 miles an hour.
