The first flight in Canada occurred on Feb 23, 1909 in Baddeck Bay, NS. Pilot J.A.D. McCurdy flew the Silver Dart for about 30 meters. The Silver Dart was designed by Alexander Graham Bell. McCurdy made his first flight in 1908, aboard the White Wing (Glen Curtiss aircraft) in the US.
John Alexander Douglas McCurdy was the pilot and the designer of the Silver Dart.
By 1891 Bell had begun experiments to develop motor-powered heavier-than-air aircraft. He founded the Aerial Experiment Association (AEA), a Canadian-American aeronautical research group, on 30 September 1907. The group built and flew four flying machines, the Red Wing, White Wing, June Bug, and Silver Dart. All four aircraft made record achievements in the history of flight during 1908 and 1909. The Silver Dart is on permanent display at the Alexander Graham Bell Museum in Baddeck, Nova Scotia, Canada.
