[Aviation] Forman, Harrison
Do You Want to Fly
Shanghai: The Comacrib Press 1933. First edition. 8vo xii 448 4pp. Copiously illustrated with half-tone photographs sketches and diagrams by Forman. Publisher's pebbled cloth with gilt spine and cover lettering sprayed page edges in illustrated jacket. Spine mottled and faded else very good in jacket which is lacking about 2/3 of the rear panel. <br /> <br /> First book from the American aviator journalist and war correspondent Harrison Forman 1904-1978. The book is quite detailed and somewhat technical in its language though in his preface Forman states:<br /> <br /> "It is not the purpose of the author to attempt a technical and exhaustive survey of the field of aviation in the confining limits of the following few chapters. They are designed rather to direct a special appeal to the layman in the aviation world."<br /> <br /> <br /> The text largely centers around Forman's early explorations in China where he sold aircraft to the government and trained pilots. A fascinating and scarce book on aviation with an interesting Shanghai imprint. <br /> <br /> <br /> . The Comacrib Press unknown

[AVIATION] BELLONTE, Maurice; [COSTES, Dieudonne] [WEISS, Rene]
La Premiére Traversée Aérienne Paris-New York par Costes et Bellonte The First Aerial Crossing from Paris-New York By Costes and Bellonte
Paris: Imprimerie Nationale 1931. First Edition. Small folio. 34cm. Later heavy grain oatmeal cloth with black leather title label to spine. 258pp.; 1. Clean and strong minor bumping to spine ends; internally clean and fresh illustrated throughout with photographs color images and charts all with captioned tissue guards. A near fine copy.<br /> <br /> <br /> From the library of Nathaniel Tarn noted poet translator and anthropologist bearing his bookplate to the front pastedown. A lavish and justifiably celebratory account of the first aerial crossing from Paris to New York performed in 1930 as the second traversal attempt by Costes and Bellonte with the first having to be abandoned in 1929 due to bad weather. The duo successfully made the crossing of 3850 miles in 37 hours and 18 minutes to international fanfare in their Breguet 19 Super Bidon named "Point D'Interrogation" or "Question Mark". Bellonte's rather lush and impressive account is quite scarce in trade and considering the importance of Costes and Bellonte's singular achievement seems sparse in institiutional holdings.

[AVIATION] / WRIGHT des freres, Ferrus, L, tr
Les expériences d'aviation des frères Wright. Rapport présenté a l'aéro-club d'Amérique.
<p>OFFPRINT IN FRENCH OF WRIGHT BROTHERS REPORT RECORDING THE LONGEST FLIGHT AT THE TIME</p><p>8vo pp. 1-3 4-7 8 blank. In original printed publisher's wrappers. Printed advertisements on back cover. Ink stamp "From the private library of Orville Wright" on title page signature of H. A. Miller. Uncut.</p><p>A fine copy of the first French edition of Wright brothers' report from March 12 1906 to the secretary of the recently created Aero Club of America recording the longest flight in history at the time. This French edition was published the same year that the Wright brothers traveled to Europe in an effort to secure monopoly on air travel and negotiate for the sale of the Wright airplane. In 1908 the Wright brothers would return to Europe to perform 200 demonstrative flights.</p><p>The report summarizes the last stage of the brothers' flying experiments which began in 1899 and allowed them to develop a plane capable of making routine flights. Upon completing their experiments in Dayton Ohio in the fall of 1905 the brothers did not fly again for 2.5 years focusing their attention on securing a patent which they were granted in May 1906.</p><p>In the report the brothers write that the flights of 1905 made "in a swampy meadow about 8 miles east of Dayton Ohio and continued from June until the early days of October" were meant to correct some problems "necessary to overcome before it would be safe to employ flyers for practical purposes." The experiments proved successful: "Owing to frequent experimental changes in the machine and the resulting differences in its management the earlier flights were short; but towards the middle of September means of correcting the obscure troubles were found and the flyer was at last brought under satisfactory control." The report includes a chart documenting the brothers' progress: on October 5 Wilbur made his longest flight in which he circled the field 30 times in 39 minutes.</p><p>The report also summarizes the brothers' experiments prior to 1905: "Previous to the year 1905 we had experimented at Kitty Hawk North Caroline with man-carrying gliding machines in the years 1900 1901 1902 and 1903. Flights to the number of more than 100 had also been made at Dayton Ohio in 1904."</p><p>This copy sold at Sotheby's for $4375 in 2008. We were able to locate only two copies worldwide: in the U.S. at MIT and at the Bibliothèque nationale de France.</p><p> <em>Published Writings of Wilbur and Orville Wright</em> p. 6.</p> Berger-Levrault et Cie, Éditeurs paperback

Pictorial blue-gray publisher’s cloth cover art illustration of airship tower and clouds by Decorative Designers initials in lower right white lettering front cover & spine some edgewear rubbing minor soiling and thumbing ex-lib markings on endpapers & spine still a G copy from the Southern Pacific Railway Clubs car library. First American edition of this excellent and well-illustrated work on aviation by Santos-Dumont who was a pioneering Brazilian aviator at the turn-of-the-19th- into the 20th-Century. The diminutive playboy and talented engineering machinist raced motorized tricycles Locomobiles and began building his own dirigibles and in 1901 piloted his Airship No. 6 sround the Eiffel Tower. In 1904 after publication of this work he began experimenting heavier-than-air aircraft building an unsuccessful helicopter in 1905 and in 1906 a biplane reminiscent of the Wright Flyer dubbed a “canard†by the French and in 1906 set the first aviation record in Europe. Brazilians like to claim he preceded the Wright Bros. because he made his first flights in front of huge public crowds but aviation experts and historians demur. The Century Co., hardcover

ORMER LOCKLEAR ARCHIVE
An archive of research and writing materials gathered for a biography of Ormer Locklear the daredevil aerial stuntman who was the first to change planes mid-air and died while filming the silent movie The Skywayman 1920. It took more than a decade for author Art Ronnie to research Locklear’s life and find a publisher for his book Locklear: The Man Who Walked on Wings 1973.<br /> <br /> Born in Greenville Texas Locklear 1891–1920 became fascinated with flying when aviation pioneer Calbraith Perry Rodgers landed in a Fort Worth field to unclog a fuel line. With his brothers Locklear built gliders and later learned to fly after joining the U.S. Army Air Force in 1917 eventually becoming a flight instructor. He left the Army in 1919 and with two colleagues joined show promoter and manager William Pickens to form an aerial circus before he was recruited for the silver screen. In his personal life Locklear married Ruby Graves in 1915 but they separated in 1919 and thereafter she refused to grant him a divorce. After moving to Hollywood he became involved with silent screen actress Viola Dana who was at the airfield the night of the accident and witnessed his death. One of the key items in this archive is a scarce original poster for Locklear’s first feature film The Great Air Robbery Universal 1919. After watching one of Locklear’s aerial circus shows Carl Laemmle signed Locklear to a series of motion pictures. In this movie Locklear played Larry Cassidy a pilot for the U.S. Air Mail Service who defends a shipment of $20000 in gold from the villainous clutches of the evil Chester Van Arland Ray Ripley. The film made use of all the stunts that had made Locklear a household name as a barnstormer. The picture was a hit and Locklear was well on his way to a fabulous career on the silver screen. The stone lithographic posters measures 27†x 41†and features a portrait of the daring aviator. It is archivally framed with an acid-free mount and UV plexiglass. This film and The Skywayman are both considered “lost films†as no known prints exists in archives.<br /> <br /> This archive also includes more than 300 hundred negatives and photographs of Locklear’s short life and career that were collected by Art Ronnie from Locklear family members newspapers movie studios and historical societies. Included among them is a framed 8†x 10†black-and-white photograph that is signed by Locklear who is wearing his military uniform. A second framed photograph from his Hollywood days includes a signature framed below the photo. Neither of these images have been inspected outside the frame. Ronnie was a meticulous record keeper. This archive includes copies of letters the author wrote to Locklearfamily members friends film studios libraries and historical societies. It includes two expandable folders containing copies of the more than 300 letters Ronnie wrote researching the book with the recipients’ responses attached. He began his research in 1961 while working at the Los Angeles Herald Examiner using the newspaper’s stationary with the intention of writing a magazine piece on spec.<br /> <br /> After the initial article was published he decided to pursue a book and many of his later letters reflect the struggle to find a publisher. By 1962 he is using Twentieth Century Fox Television letterhead after having switched careers to be a publicist with the network. Among the early letters Ronnie wrote is one to Locklear’s sister Anita Mae Locklear who still lived in the family’s hometown of Fort Worth Texas. “Would you please write down anything you recall about Ormer – his personality his motorcycling and racing days any amusing anecdotes his first desires to fly his decision to come to Hollywood and his funeral which I understand was one of the largest ever held in Fort Worth.†In her return letter Anita shared a few facts: “He was flying with Pickens Flying Circus when the studio was interested and signed him up for the pictures.†Ronnie appeared to have the most success and the longest running correspondence with Locklear’s brother James who became the point person for the family. The two men corresponded excitedly after uncovering a copy of the Barron Field Review which contained a photo feature of “Locklear’s Class in Aerial Calisthenics.â€<br /> <br /> Ronnie tracked down one of Locklear’s fellow aviators who recalled in a letter that Locklear was fearless and often got in trouble for aerial antics: “He liked stunts and thrills and experimented with crawling all over the plane which finally gave him the idea that he could change planes in the air.†Among the letters is a typed signed reply from the actress Mary Pickford who provides Ronnie with a contact to Charlie Chaplin and notes that her brother Jack and Ormer were good friends: “On the night that Locklear was killed my brother was scheduled to go up with him but mother had prepared Jack’s favorite dinner and as luck would have it the dinner was late.†Ronnie also chased down leads that didn’t pan out. He corresponded in 1961 with movie producer Robert Youngson about a rumor that Locklear was one of the stunt pilots involved in the unplanned mid-air collision of two planes during the filming of the Harry Houdini movie The Grim Game. “My own guess is that the stuntman on that wing could not possibly have escaped and must have been killed†Youngson wrote. The publicity machine around the 1919 film claimed Houdini was involved and escaped the crash but Ronnie’s research uncovered the fact that Houdini was nowhere near the planes. Miraculously his stunt double survived the crash with just a few cuts and bruises.<br /> <br /> After working on the project for more than a decade Ronnie landed A.S. Barnes as a publisher. One of the folders in this archive contains dozens of rejection letters he received from publishers between 1962 and 1971 when he signed his publishing deal. For the first several years he was represented by literary agent Carolyn Willyoung Stagg of Lester Lewis Associates. After receiving feedback from Holt she wrote the following in January 1962 to Ronnie: “Are you at all interested in doing a couple of consecutive chapters which will be less ‘journalistic and slap-dashed style’ and will get down the essential motivation and characterization which made Locklear a colorful figure†In 1969 Barnes rejected Ronnie’s manuscript but decided to move forward with it in 1971. He was paid a $250 royalty advance. Once the book went to press Ronnie pushed the publisher about its promotion and sales strategies taking on much of the public relations campaign himself calling in favors and urging those he knew in the media to mention his book. He seemed less impressed with Barnes’ sales efforts writing to Julien Yoseloff of Barnes in October 1973: “When a book has received the publicity Locklear has I believe it behooves the publisher to let the booksellers know about it…I believe the publicity Locklear has received in very unusual. In addition to reviews more than 800 newspapers have mentioned it and excerpts have appeared in eight magazines.†Ronnie’s personal copy of the book is included with the archive. It contains his bookplate and is inscribed by Viola Dana and her sister Shirley Mason also an actress from the silent film era. This copy is also signed by Jimmy Doolittle who provided Ronnie with an opening quote for the book.<br /> <br /> The materials including several typescript versions of the book in this collection are stored in three banker boxes and all the materials are in very good condition. This archive provides a complete record of an important early aviator who transitioned into movie making. In addition it is an important writers archive demonstrating how original research is developed and the evolution of a book as well as its printing and promotion. Please inquire for a complete inventory of this archive. unknown

Santos-Dumont; A Study in Obsession
London: Putnam 1962. First U.K. Edition. Octavo. 22cm. Publisher's black and white speckled cloth titled in gilt to spine. Dustjacket. 278pp. Some minor bumping to spine ends and corners clean and tight; internally clean and fresh red endpapers red topstain some spotting and soiling to page edges; in a strong lightly sunned dustjacket with some light scuffing and soiling to the white rear panel some fading to the spine panel and a couple of cosmetic nicks to the extremities. A very good copy. <br /> <br /> A biography written by Air Vice Marshall Wykeham of the RAF no stranger to risky aeronautical adventure himself of the eccentric intrepid and influential Alberto Santos-Dumont. A Brazilian aeronut first inspired by the ill-fated Andree balloon adventure to the pole but then branching out into the design and flight of a number of prototype fixed wing aircraft. Santos-Dumont is considered by many to be arguably the first man to fly a powered aeroplane but his work was beaten to the punch by the Wright Brothers who were considerably less erratic a circumstance which bedevilled Santos-Dumont for the remainder of his life. A much neglected personality in the field of aeronautical design exploration and development. Putnam unknown

[Aviation] [Western Front]
Three aerial photographs of the small village of Champneuville near Verdun taken in July and August 1917
The vintage gelatin silver photographs are in excellent condition; two are 130 × 180 mm taken on 22 July; one is 180 × 240 mm taken on 14 August. The large one is a slightly raking view of the village taken from a height of 400 metres; the substantial shell damage to virtually every building is clearly evident. The two smaller photographs are taken from a higher altitude and the extensive networks of trenches and numerous shell craters are the stand-out features. <p>From late June 1916 to early October 1916 Champneuville and other villages in the surrounding area were the scene of attacks and counter-attacks between the German and French forces. In late August 1916 the French recaptured Champneuville during the Second Offensive Battle of Verdun. We have several other aerial views of the Western Front for sale; enquiries welcome. 3 items. unknown
