Liability for Accidents in Aerial Navigation

Authors

Simeon E. Baldwin

Abstract

It cannot be long before the American courts will be called upon to decide whether, under the principles of the common law, aeronauts, who cause damage by a descent to the earth, are liable at all events, or only when chargeable with negligence or want of skill. Is there a right to navigate the air, corresponding to the right to navigate the sea? ·
