"One of the Boston area's earliest aviation pioneers was Roy Waite. He was one of the first aircraft inspectors for the Navy Department". He also taught many early aviators how to fly. A surviving poster tells people to, "TAKE A FLIGHT IN AN AEROPLANE at CLIFTONDALE AVIATION FIELD, Cliftondale Mass" in his Burgess-Wright biplane, the "safest aeroplane to date". He later restored the Wright Flyer for display in the Smithsonian.
