*Albatross* 1893 = Yes, that date is correct, and this patented airborne
hotel — the 747 of a century ago — is included in Aerofiles as an
interesting example of the creative approach to manned flight taken by one

suitcase rollers for ground movement.

But when you see a very real Dr. Schoenmaker in the Pynchon genealogy, one
Dr. Edwin Pynchon (1856-1914), composer of *Surgical Correction of
Deformities of the Nasal Septum,* you may legitimately begin to wonder and
think of Esther in *V.* Rockets, planes, and Hawaiian lounges in the sky:
they're all there. Was it mere co-incidence that Pynchon & Co., Brokers,
published *The Aviation Industry *in 1928?

I also found references to Edwin Pynchon working at Chicago Postgraduate
Medical School in the 1890s--on surgery on tonsils
