From “The Argus”, Melbourne, 19 March 1910

We, the undersigned, do hereby testify to the fact that on the above date, about 8 o’clock a.m., we witnessed Harry Houdini in a Voisin biplane (a French heavier than air machine) make three successful flights from 1 min. to 3 1/2 min., the last flight being of the lastmentioned duration. In his various flights he reached an altitude of 100 ft., and in his longest flight traversed a distance of more than two miles.
