EARLY AVIATION: FATAL CRASH
Three Original Photographs of Harold Bruner and His Curtis Headless Pusher Prior to His Fatal Crash.
Erie PA: Adrian Studio 1919. Three large silver gelatin of early aviator Harold Bruner and his plane. Each measures 13 3/4 x 10 1/2 inches in studio mounts 15 1/2 x 12 inches. Two of the photographs depict Bruner in the air and the other shows him on the ground in his plane. His plane was a Curtiss Headless Pusher. One of the photographs with some surface soiling and a mounted newspaper article on top it it. Wear to mount edges. A fascinating piece of history. Aviation was still in its infancy when this tragedy occurred. Harold Bruner of Erie PA was an early enthusiast of flight. Born in 1897 he grew up in Pennsylvania and after high school attended the Williams School of Aviation in Fenton Michigan. He became Òone of the most expert flyers in the United States often performing feats in midair which none but the most daring pilot had ever attemptedÓ from affixed unattributed newspaper. He traveled the Eastern seaboard demonstrating the wonder of flight at various county fairs and meets. On September 11 1919 he was scheduled to appear at the Dunkirk NY county fair. He did perform at this fair but ÒSuddenly when the machine was about 50 feet from the ground it tipped over to one side and then plunged down like a shot striking on the race ground ÒIbid. It was judged that the reason the plane crashed was the snapping of the elevator wire. The engine fell on him and he died instantly. Affixed the the verso of one of the photographs is a remarkable article from the Erie Dispatch September 12 1919 about that accident claiming that BrunerÕs plane might have been sabotaged. The headline reads; ÒWas Young Aviator Foul Play Victim.Ó The article states that a month prior to the crash Bruner took Erie Dispatch reporter Merrill C. Borland for a flight at the Erie exposition grounds. Borland reported that at that time Bruner's engine overheated badly. Upon investigation he found that someone had purposely put some same hay and dirt in his radiator. The reporter then speculates that perhaps the cause of BrunerÕs death in Dunkirk was attributable to the same person speculating that the elevator wire had been tampered with. Another fascinating detail of the article and one which helps to date the photographs is the following: ÒBefore taking Borland in the air a short flight was made for the benefit of F J Adams a moving picture man.Ó In the photograph of Bruner sitting in his Curstiss Pusher we can see attached to his plane a large motion picture camera. There is a rather dapper looking man standing behind the plane and this is more than likely F. J. Adams. The photograph was taken by the Erie photographer Adrian which also helps in pinning this down. In all probability these photographs were made during the visit of F. J. Adams to the Erie exposition field in August of 1919 a month before his fiery death. Adrian Studio unknown

Galicki, Wolfgang H.U.
Phaeton - A Forgotten Myth
147 pages including index. Prehistoric dates and more dates have been computed to provide admissibility for the mythic history of Homo sapiens in a framework of recorded mythological events, as well as the arrival of a planetoid which triggered the last Ice Age and the Flood, its hypothetical crash in northeastern Canada that brought forth Halley's comet. Atlantis and Mu are refurbished, and the existence of ancient 'atomic piles' in some pyramids of Egypt proclaimed by the author. In all, a think-piece that challenges the imagination of every reader of this controversial thesis! Includes occasional black and white illustrations. Minor rubbing to top corner of front cover. Rubber stamp upon front cover and top edge. Several rubber stamps upon title page. Moderate wear. Book

McDougall, Jim
Angel of the Snow
174 pages including black and white photographic plates. In Spence Bay, in the far north of Canada, Judy Hill, a young nurse from Kingsbridge, Devon, decided to devote her life to caring for a community of Eskimos. In reading her story we learn of a hard cruel world where even 'survival' was still a luxury and of the courage necessary for the nurses to look after these still relatively primitive people in very isolated places. Here tragic death in a plane crash in 1972 drew attention to the vitally needed improvements in communications and facilities for these dedicated nurses. The facts of her death, and the controversy that surrounded Hartwell's action when he decided to use her body for nourishment, drew the world's attention to the risks these nurses took everyday in the wastes of the Arctic. Light wear to book which is clean and unmarked but for prior owner's name atop front endpaper. Dust jacket shows average wear, is price-clipped and missing one inch chunk at bottom edge of back panel. Solid copy. Book
