Hovercraft Skims Waves In England, first over-the-water flight of a flying saucer shaped craft designed to skim the surface on a cushion of compressed air. It proves no pipe dream, when put to the test. People, including some press photographers, gather round this invention. Hovercraft pilot on board, with helmet. Flaps are adjusted. Spectators watch hovercraft fly on land, then on water (large boat passes behind it).
