I assume these pictures are of the famous daredevil pilot Lincoln Beechey. He perfected the loop and was the first who could do it in repetition. He died performing at the Panama Pacific Exposition in 1915. I think this is his canvas covered plane they are dragging out of the bay.

Pretty numbing footage of people going up, way up in planes and balloons! We see the balloons go up, then the planes doing tricks. Then I think the balloon crashes into the ocean, I think this happens several times, as we see three apparently different rescue missions. Not bad if you're looking for footage of early travel, but that's about it.
