Aviation / San Francisco.
Passengers Carried on Aerial Trips and The Science of Aerial Navigation Taught under the Personal Supervision of Silas Christofferson.
San Francisco: Christofferson Aircraft Mfg. Co. n. d. circa 1912. Very Good. 16 x 10.5 cm. Handbill printed recto only. White stock printed in black. Long pencil notation to verso presumably detailing a streetcar trip in San Francisco "Up Market down Van Ness -- Outer zone -- down Zone. avenue to aviation field -- around field -- many pictures. Art stood all way". Slight crease near one corner else remarkably well-preserved. A rare promotional piece for Silas Christofferson and the Christofferson Aircraft Manufacturing Co. advertising aviation as "a safe and sane sport". Free exhibitions were offered daily "at the beach" presumably near the Christofferson hangar on Ocean Drive at Sloat Boulevard. Silas Christofferson was with his brother Harry one of the "early birds of aviation" and became known for such feats as flying in 1912 from the top of the Multnomah Building in Portland Oregon to the Vancouver barracks eight miles away. That year both he and the Christofferson Aircraft Mfg. Co. set up shop in San Francisco which is why we date this handbill to around that time. Christofferson died in a plane crash in 1916. Christofferson Aircraft Mfg. Co. unknown

Blessed with great speed and the traditional "long legs" associated with Navy aircraft the Crusader was effectively converted into a reconnaissance platform by removing the 20mm cannon and replacing them with cameras. It was successfully used over Cuba in 1962 and during the Vietnam war. . Reprint. Softcover. Delprado Publishers paperback

From the publisher: "The Harmon Memorial Lecture is the oldest and longest-running lecture series at the United States Air Force Academy occurring continuously on an annual basis since the spring of 1959before this institution had even graduated its first class. It is a fitting tribute to the man many consider to be the father of the Air Force Academy its first superintendent Lt Gen Hubert R. Harmon. General Harmon understood that the serious study of military history was an essential element of the military profession and he was a strong supporter of the two main goals of the series: stimulating cadets to develop a lifelong interest in the history of the military profession and promoting the development and dissemination of military history for the benefit of all American citizens. Each year the Academys Department of History selects a leading military historian to present the Harmon Memorial Lecture to all cadets enrolled in the military history courses offered that term. For many years these lectures were printed and disseminated individually across the Academy the Air Force and throughout academia. In 1988 Lt Col Harry Borowski then a faculty member in the Department of History edited a volume containing the first 30 years of Harmon Lectures. This volume picks up where Lieutenant Colonel Borowski left off presenting the next 30 years of Harmon Lectures for the benefit of cadets faculty and staff the Air Force scholars throughout academia and all persons interested in military history throughout the world. Each of these volumes includes the work and wisdom of the finest military historians of their eras; the contributors represent a veritable Hall of Fame of military historians from 1959 to 2017 General Harmon understood that military history served a special purpose for those in the American military professionencouraging a warrior ethos developing a deeper understanding of the profession of arms and providing the context so absolutely essential for those entrusted with the security of the American Republic. Im confident that readers from a wide variety of backgrounds will agree that this volume fully supports its intended purpose." 6.75" wide by 9.5" tall.
