==Biography==
Atwood was born on November 15, 1883. He trained at the Wright Flying School at Huffman Prairie, near Dayton, Ohio, with fellow students Thomas Milling, Calbraith Perry Rodgers and Henry H. Arnold. Within three months of his first lesson he flew a record-breaking from Boston to Washington, DC, and on July 14, 1911, landed on the White House lawn.〔("Taft Greets Atwood after Rainy Flight" ), ''New York Times'', July 15, 1911〕〔John Carver Edwards, ''Orville's Aviators: Outstanding Alumni of the Wright Flying School, 1910-1916'' (Jefferson, N.C.: McFarland, 2009), 172.〕 A prize of $10,000 was offered to Atwood to fly between Chicago and Milwaukee on August 10. Between August 14, 1911 and August 25, 1911 he flew from St. Louis to New York, making 11 stops and spending 28 hours 31 minutes in the air.〔Daniel, Clifton, ed., ''Chronicle of the 20th Century'', Mount Kisco, New York: Chronicle Publications, 1987, ISBN 0-942191-01-3, p. 153.〕 Atwood funded his flying activities with the sale of two different electric meter designs to General Electric.〔
