AVIATION COURSE
Very Rare Printing of the Translated Coursebook in Aviation for American Officers in Paris 1918 No Other Known Examples Discovered in OCLC
The Heavier-Than-Air; The Aeroplane". 1918 English Translation from the original French as "A Course for the American Officers" in Paris for service in World War I. Written by Marchis a professor at the University of Paris. Mimeographed translation in English. A very rare example of early Franco-American cooperation on aeronautics especially under the threat of World War I and a glimpse in to the very earliest use of aircraft for military purposes. No examples of this rare mimeograph text are found in any institutional collection or library in the United States or abroad according to a search of OCLC Worldcat. <br/><br/>Less than a decade following the Wright Brothers' first flight at Kitty Hawk North Carolina in 1902 flight was growing as an intense area of study both in America and across the Atlantic in Europe. Paris became a center for aeronautic discovery with the Deutsch-Archdeacon Prize given in 1906 to the first observed flight greater than 25 meters and the Aero-Club de France. This text book "Heavier-Than-Air; The Aeroplane" was originally published in parts from 1910 to 1912. World War I provided intense motivation on both sides of the Atlantic to push forward the development of the airplane to a usable form of transport as well as a weapon. The American troops deployed to Paris were put under the tutelage of Professor Marchis of the University of Paris to learn the mechanics of flight as well as operation and maintenance of aircraft and exciting recent developments. Professor Marchis had his groundbreaking text book translated hurriedly into English in order to accompany his courses to the American Officers in his training. One chapter begins "The Eiffel Tower was the first laboratory utilized by the celebrated engineer in his researches in aerodynamics carried on during the past ten years. Bodies thrown from one of the platforms of the tower have permitted a study of free fall in calm air." Other chapters explain "Data Varying with Altitude" "Gyration" etc. There are several double-sized or even much larger sheets of equations and hand-drawn graphs on blue carbon paper folded in to explain aspects of flight. One of the most exciting features of this book is the apparent speed under which it was translated and prepared for use. Double-prints of words "the the" pages that drop off midway through and pick up again on the following page spelling errors and misprints abound. The quality of the original printing varies dramatically as the mimeograph machine apparently lost ink. The hand-drawn carbon images of graphs are transferred directly from the original and not translated from French. The quality of the book demonstrates its immediate necessity for the immense task at hand in winning the war. Hard-bound brown half morocco covers. Spine labeled in gilt in French "L. Marchis Cours Aeronautique Pours Les Officers Americains." A large-sized thick book of over 300 pages. Rubbed on spine and corners. Partial split along spine. Very rare. unknown books

No date. 8 1/2 x 11 in. "Chuck Yeager" printed at top of page. "Many aviators believed that man was not meant to fly faster than the speed of sound they assumed the resulting drag rise may tear the aircraft apart. I was apprehensive about trying to break the sound barrier. But you don't let that apprehension affect your job. On October 14 1947 Glamorous Glenn with me in the cockpit was lifted to an altitude of 25000 feet by a World War II B-29 bomber and then they released my X-1 through the bomb bay. Once in the air I was rocketing to 40000 feet and exceeding 662 miles per hour which was the sound barrier at that altitude. As I always said you don't concentrate on risks. You concentrate on results." He also writes on his activity as a flying ace in WWII: "I flew 64 missions over Europe.and shot down 13 German planes. I was also shot down myself once over France." 2 original fold lines. Bold signature at bottom of page and In very good condition. unknown books

Old folds lower right hand corner chipped not affecting text or signature otherwise a fine letter with a bold clear signature. 1p. on Sergievsky's personal letterhead. 8vo. A letter written by the renowned Russian ace and world record setting Sikorsky test pilot on behalf of Danish-born ballet and Broadway dancer Paul Haakon considered by many to be one of greatest ballet dancers of the 20th century. <br/><br/>Reading in part: "I have known Paul Haakon Longreen for over sixteen years. In the theatrical profession he is known under the name of Paul Haakon. It is very well known that he is one of the best dancers in the world. He gave up his dancing recently to become a flying instructor purely to serve his country. I sincerely believe that anything which could be done to facilitate his joining the United States Army Air Force reserve would benefit our war effort."<br/><br/>Despite Sergievsky's recommendation in our letter it seems Haakon never became a combat pilot during WWII and instead toured as an entertainer with the United Service Organizations.

U. S. Aviation History. Dunning Maj. L. Former Owner. Cosby J. T. Vice President F 111 Program Director
F-111A FIRST FLIGHT. Photodocumentary.; FZM-12-2226. 21 Dec 1964
Fort Worth: General Dynamics 1964. 1st Printing. Black flexible plastic spiral-bound binder gold lettering to front cover. Modest wear Very Good Plus. 3 preliminary pages of typescript text including a page written time-line of the aircraft's development printed recto only. After 16 photographs one typescript page inserted "News Conference Personnel" followed by 3 photographs of the news conference. Laid-in a xerox extract of a column by Fred H. De Jong supporting the aircraft's development & use original publication source not identified. 19 glossy b/w still photographs 8-1/2" x 11" <br/><br/>The F-111 Aardvark was an "American supersonic medium-range interdictor and tactical attack aircraft that also filled the roles of strategic nuclear bomber aerial reconnaissance and electronic-warfare aircraft in its various versions. The word 'aardvark' is Afrikaan for 'earthpig' and reflects the look of the long nose of the aircraft that might remind one of the nose of the aardvark. Developed in the 1960s by General Dynamics it entered service in 1967 with the United States Air Force. <br /> <br />The F-111 pioneered several technologies for production aircraft including variable-sweep wings afterburning turbofan engines and automated terrain-following radar for low-level high-speed flight. Its design influenced later variable-sweep wing aircraft and some of its advanced features have since become commonplace." Wiki <br /> <br />While the US transitioned to other aircraft in the late '90s the F-111 continued in service with the RAAF until December 2010. <br /> <br />As Mr. Cosby's introductory note states "These photographs portray the sequence of events of 21 December 1964." No doubt only a limited number of these binders were made mostly likely for visiting dignitaries which makes this a rare promotional photodocumentary of the F-111A's first flight. <br /> <br />At the time of cataloguing we find no copies elsewhere in the market nor listed on OCLC.

World War One: Aviation
1918 Classroom Notebook of a Cadet at the United States Army School of Aeronautics at Ohio State University
Columbus OH: np 1918. First Edition. Hardcover. Good. 4to. Cloth hardcover three ring binder. Holding 151 leaves; 110 holograph 41 typed. Many sheets loose from ring binding. Cloth torn at spine. Overall contents well preserved. <br/><br/>The classroom lecture notebook of an unnamed cadet at The United States Army School of Aeronautics at Ohio State University Columbus OH covering January through March 1918. During WWI a pilot shortage in the United States became apparent. In response the War Department and U.S. Army formed the Aviation Cadet Training Program installing aviation training schools at six universities across the country. This program at Ohio State appears to have consisted of 8 weeks of classes with training in military drill discipline and technical instruction with an emphasis on aviation. Curriculum from the program formed the basis for the aeronautical engineering courses later taught at OSU. A scarce set of materials from an early instructional program of military aviation training and education one that would eventually become the US Air Force. np hardcover books

World War II: Aviation
U.S. NAVY PRIMARY FLIGHT TRAINING MANUAL
Glenview IL: Naval Air Training Command 1945. First Edition. Wraps. Good . 4to. Illustrated wraps. Contemporary post binding added at left margin. Most paper lost from spine. Wrapper edges worn chipped. Internally clean sound. <br/><br/>An original illustrated manual issued to WWII Naval flight cadets training at NAS Glenview dated July 1 1945 to the title page. Generously illustrated throughout with dozens of original drawings likely the work of a single unnamed illustrator and photograph reproductions executed and lettered in a decidedly Seuss-ian style heavily influenced by modern cartooning lending a simplistic treatment to gravely serious and technical material. A portion of the "Safety" chapter on p. 29 with the exaggerated likeness of a pilot resting upon a cloud holding a harp wearing angel wings and captioned: "Don't try to be the 'hottest' pilot but try to be the 'oldest.'" and "There are bold pilots and there are old piltos 'But!' - there are no old bold pilots." Six chapters are broken into dozens of sections with titles like: Your Parachute Safety Inherent Stability Turns Normal Spins Landings Steep Turns Precision Immelmans Progressive Spins etc. The impact of the allied air campaign and skill of American pilots during World War II is seldom mentioned in modesty. This is a rare flight training publication and exceptional example of illustrative instruction. OCLC notes only 2 institutional holdings one at The Smithsonian the other in the aviation archives at Wright State in Dayton OH. None in commerce June 2015. 243pp. Naval Air Training Command paperback books
