From the article:
In March 1915, the famous barnstormer Lincoln Beachey died in a crash into San Francisco Bay, and Stinson acquired the rotary engine from his wrecked plane, rebuilt it, and used it in her plane.
Yeah, the whole thing is worth a read.
I also love that we can see the shadow of the camera person in the picture.
Oh how interesting! I didn’t know about her before this - thanks OP!
