Central Library of Rochester and Monroe County · Historic Scrapbooks Collection ENTHUSIASTIC Kodak Magnate Sees Latest Development or Air Pho tography at First Hand. Enfeebled by the long years that have passed since he slaved in a tiny darkroom of his own making to revolutionize world photography. George Eastman today rode over Rochester in an army plane con taining the latest development in photographic science the flying darkroom. With Lt. George Goddard. chief photographic instructor at Chanute Field. Illinois, at the controls, the Kodak magnate remained aloft al most twenty minutes. Aided from the plane by army officers present at the Municipal Airport, Mr. Eastman was all aglow as he spoke of the advance repre sented by the new dark room, in which pictures made in midair may be developed while flying and low ered to the ground without necessi tating a plane landing. FLIES OVER HIS HOME The flight took the aged manu facturer over his East Avenue home, Cobb'j Hill and, at his own j request, ove rthe grounds of the University of Rochester, the bene ficiary of much of his philanthropy. He was able to see the main East man Kodak plant only in the dis tance, he said. Apparently very happy over the flight, Mr. Eastman plied those about him with questions relative to the photographic process in- . volved. He said: "The air was a little bumpy while we were near the ground I hut it was smooth flying after we j reached higher altitude. It gave i me a real thrill to have this ex perience once more."

Mr. Eastman, yesterday morning, made his sec ond airplane flight over Rochester. Before he went up In the army plane, special dispensation had to be granted from the government, aa civilian passengers are ordinar ily excluded from army planes. Also, to give a little dramatic flour ish to the flight, Mr. Eastman and Camiel DeSmet, groundskeeper at Mr. Eastman's East Avenue resi dence, who accompanied his em- H ployer, were asked to sign a paper releasing the government from all responsibility in case of accident. Mr. Eaatman attached his sign a ture to this paper first, and Mr. DeSmet wrote his name below. The flight was made under ideal conditions. The visibility was high. due to a cloudless sky, there was virtually no wind, and the morning was warm enough to make flying in a light top coat comfortable. Lieutenant Goddard, pointing the noae of his plane quickly to the north, flew with his two pas- ngers to the heart of the city, here Mr. Eastman waa able to ave a good look at tre new tower f the State Street office build ing of the Kodak Company, and then turned east. He flew almost out of sight of the watchers at the field, and made a long, easy 'circle in which, he related when the plane returned to the field he had taken Mr. Eaatman over his East venue residence and the Campus of the University of Rochester. The entire flight consumed 18 min- ving back at the field.

The army men, commissioned and otherwise, were recorded photographically. Then Mr. Eastman arrived with his driver, Camiel DeSmet, who usually functions as superintendent of the East Avenue grounds and who has been associated with Mr. Eastman since boyhood. Be it explained that Mr. Eastman's reg ular chauffeur was very busy taking orphans to and from the Sea Breeze picnic. The Fairchild was warming in charge of a sergeant. But there were formalities to be undergone before that flight could start. Quite Impressively the Rochester industrialist signed a formal re lease for the United States gov ernment and DeSmet did likewise, for Mr. Eastman.

Then there was a long swing backward up the river and then eastward, the trip culminating in a* long circle about the Wield.
