It was on the 11th that President Theodore Roosevelt, who was in town participating in the Missouri State Republican Party's campaign, became the first U.S. president to fly in an airplane. Roosevelt flew in a Wright Company Model B plane piloted by Arch Hoxsey, a member of the Wright exhibition team. Roosevelt was accompanied by Herbert S. Hadley, Governor of Missouri and two men who appear to be Henry W. Kiel, Mayor of St. Louis, and Sheriff Louis Nolte. (Note: Prior to being found by the Periscope Film team and donated to LoC, this film was considered lost for many years; another roll of footage from the same event can be seen on the LoC website at https://www.loc.gov/item/mp76000114.) Roosevelt is seen in the footage in his car at the 8:50 mark. Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed. For almost two decades, we've worked to collect, scan and preserve the world as it was captured on 35mm, 16mm and 8mm movies -- including home movies, industrial films, and other non-fiction. If you have endangered films you'd like to have scanned, or wish to donate celluloid to Periscope Film so that we can share them with the world, we'd love to hear from you. Contact us via the weblink below. This film is part of the Periscope Film LLC archive, one of the largest historic military, transportation, and aviation stock footage collections in the USA. Entirely film backed, this material is available for licensing in 24p HD, 2k and 4k.
