McCormick, Harold Fowler
From My Experiences Concerning Aviation / Aus Meinen Erfahrungen Uber Das Flugwesen
No place no date 1917. First edition. Wrappers. Very Good. Octavo 78 / 78 pages brown printed wrappers with yapp edges with short tears <br/><br/>" The first time I saw an aeroplane fly was at Le Mans France in the summer of 1908. Wilbur Wright had come over from America to make some demonstrations ." McCormick relates his extended first meeting with Wright at LeMans for his first and record-breaking flight in France. Soon thereafter McCormick took his first flight at Dayton piloted by Frank sic Parmalee surely Philip Orin Parmelee d.1912 which is also described at length. McCormick was a scion of Cyrus McCormick the inventor of the McCormick reaper. He succeeded his older brother Cyrus as Chairman of the Board of International Harvester and married John D. Rockefeller's daughter. Princeton University his alma mater holds his Aviation archives. Altho not a pilot himself McCormick was an early passionate devotee to manned flight. This is evident in this wide-ranging illustrated paen to aviation which he presented to the Psychological Club in Zurich in mid-December 1917. This bi-lingual edition with English and German on facing pages has 156 pages as opposed to the probably later English-only version printed circa 1918 in 67 pages in Zurich by the Art Institute Orell Fussli. McCormick organized the Aviation Meet at Chicago in 1912 when the Gordon Bennett Cup trophy was won by Jules Verdrines at 108.16 mph. In 1914 McCormick also owned the first privately owned plane in Chicagoland and attempted to commute to work by Hydroplane from Lake Forest to Chicago. unknown

MEHMET BAHATTIN ADIGÜZEL.
Hayallerini uçuran adam: Nuri Demirag. With CD.
New New English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. Mint. 4to. (31 x 22 cm). In Turkish. 255, [1] p. Color and b/w ills. Nuri Demirag (born 1886 in Divrigi - died 1957 in Istanbul) was an early Turkish industrialist. He was one of the first millionaires of the Turkish Republic. His first enterprise was the production of cigarette paper. Demirag then invested his capital in the development of the Turkish railway network. Because of this investment, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk gave him the surname Demirag, which translates as "Network of iron". In 1936 he started an aircraft factory employing 500 people at Besiktas, Istanbul (later nationalized by the government and now occupied by the Istanbul Naval Museum). Construction of the Nu D.38 twin engine high wing light transport followed. In 1946 he founded the first opposition party, which was named Milli Kalkinma Partisi (National Development Party), but his party was dissolved in 1958. He was elected deputy of Sivas for the Democratic Party as an independent candidate in 1954. Demirag donated his aircraft to his flying school (Gök Okulu) in Yesilköy, created to interest young Turks in aviation. The land upon which the school was built was later nationalized by the Turkish government and is now the Atatürk International Airport. Demirag died in 1957 from diabetes.
