““Anthony’s Wireless Airship.” A small powered blimp used in 1912 to demonstrate remote control of aircraft by wireless telegraphy. (“Professor Anthony has exhibited a method of airship control of his own by wireless. He and Leo Stephens recently gave an exhibition of starting, controlling, turning and stopping an airship by wireless which was quite a long distance from the station which controlled its action.”)”
