Summary

[edit]
Description A U.S. Navy Vought SU-1 Corsair (BuNo A8872) assigned to Naval Air Station Anacostia, Washington D.C. (USA), in flight on 13 December 1934. The plane carries a meteorograph on the starboard wing strut, taking meteorological measurements for pressure, temperature, and humidity. Manned flights were inefficient for routine observations as costs were high. Manned flights grounded during poor weather, thus radiosonde balloons later replaced the biplanes. However, such flights paved the way for aircraft weather research projects.
