"This was in far inland China, in 1915 or 1916. I happened to be with Daddy (the boys were not with us, as I recall) when we passed this very strange sight: an airplane on a Chinese boat." A long wooden boat is stopped along the bank of a river. On the boat a man is standing and there is a small airplane. Captions for this set of lantern slides from the papers of Oliver and Jennie Logan, American Presbyterian missionaries in Hunan, were provided by their daughter Elsa.
