‎New York: Aviation and Aircraft Journal. Very Good. 1921. Ephemera. Included in the envelope envelope letterhead is from the Gardner-Moffat Co. Inc. is a duplicated letter from Major Lester D. Gardner the president of the journal advertising the new journal with price incentives and information on editors and contributors. Also included are two off-print articles from the new Journal: entitled: What $598090781 Bought in War Aviation and Cost of War Aviation Only $598090781. "Lester D. Gardner who would become known as one of aviation�s elder statesmen concluded both needs could be met at once. He elected to publish Aviation and Aeronautical Engineering a journal of technical record that would adhere to rigorous standards of scholarship. Gardner was well placed to do this. He had taken a degree in engineering administration from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1898 and had studied administrative law for a year at Columbia University in 1900. He possessed valuable connections in business government and the military and counted among his friends some of the best aeronautical minds in the country. Glenn Luther Martin who was to become one of the country�s leading aviation industrialists had urged Gardner to found an aeronautical engineering journal. For many years Martin would back the magazine with steady advertising support. Grover Loening who had been the first U. S. Army aeronautical engineer and would found a famous airplane company advised Gardner on policy and would be largely responsible for the editorial course the magazine was to follow in its formative years. Together with A. Roy Knabenshue the pioneer balloonist Gardner had persuaded Orville Wright to rescue the Ood-damaged 1903 Kitty Hawk airplane from storage in Dayton Ohio. It went on public display for the first time in 1916 at MIT's new facilities in Cambridge only weeks before publication of the first issue of Aviation and Aeronautical Engineering." from Aviation Week network website .

‎Flying School Detachment Souther Field Ga. Composed of Squadrons A B C and D.‎

‎Jacksonville FL: John A. Coles Jr. 1919. Original panorama photograph of all the members of the four squadrons in front of a modified Curtiss J4. It measures 47 3/4 inches x 8 inches. Archivally matted. Excellent.Souther Field is the oldest continuously operating civilian airport in the United States that participated through military use on both World Wars. During WWI 500 cadets earned their wings here arriving 25 at a time and training for a perios of two months. In 2009 it was renamed the Jimmy Carter Regional Airport. Perhaps the most famous aspect of this airport was its relation to hero aviator Charles Lindbergh. In April 1923 Charles Lindbergh arrived at South Field and purchased his first plane for $500 although he was not yet a pilot. His connection to aviation prior to this was that he was a "wing-walker" and a parachutist in an aerial circus. He bunked at the airport until his plane was finished after which he took his first solo flight and developed his piloting skills from flights out of Souther Field. After becoming proficient he departed for a life of barnstorming. Four years later in 1927 he became the first person to make a non-stop transatlantic flight cementing his status n the annal of aviation. John A. Coles, Jr. unknown‎

The Aero Club of America was a social club formed in 1905 by Charles Jasper Glidden and others to promote aviation in America. It thrived until 1923 when it transformed into the National Aeronautic Association which still exists today. It issued the first pilot's licenses in the United States sponsored numerous air shows and contests. In 1911 the Aero Club of New York put on the First Industrial Airplane Show that was held in conjunction with the 11th U.S. International Auto Show at ManhattanÕs Grand Central Palace in New York City. In 1919 the club administered the competition for the Orteig Prize. The $25 thousand prize was to be awarded "to the first aviator of any Allied Country crossing the Atlantic in one flight from Paris to New York or New York to Paris". After many failed attempts this prize was finally awarded it to Charles Lindbergh for his successful 1927 flight in the Spirit of St. Louis. Aero Club of America unknown‎

‎The Rotalift Aircraft-Propeller.‎

‎Voorschoten NL: W. P. van Lammeren 1930. First edition. Oblong octavo. Texr in English. 20 pp. with four illustrations. Publisher's string-tied brown wrappers raised gilt lettering. Excellent. No copies located by OCLC.The Rotalift was an early version of a cyclogyro. The cyclogyro or cyclocopter is an aircraft design that uses cycloidal rotors which consist of airfoils rotating around a horizontal axis for both lift and thrust. They are capable of vertical take off and landing and hovering performance like a helicopter without the same disadvantages.citation needed Although a number of cyclogyros were built in the 1930s none were known to have successfully flown until 2011. The cyclogyro should not be mistaken for flettner airplanes the unsuccessful and aerodynamically different aircraft designs using cylindrical wings which attempted to harness the Magnus effect. Jonathan Edward Caldwell appears to have been the first to patent the concept and invent the term. He filed a patent on the concept that was granted in 1927 but immediately moved on to an ornithopter design and appears to have made no effort to build a cyclogyro of his own.3 Several attempts to build a working cyclogyro were made by other designers. The earliest full-sized example appears to be the Schroeder S1 from 1930 which used the cyclogyro "wheels" for forward thrust only" Cyclogyro Aircraft. As this was issues in 1930 as well perhaps they are the same thing. W. P. van Lammeren unknown‎

The meeting attracted a quality field of twenty pilots all except four having participated in previous meetings. It was reported that a total of 50000 francs had been paid as guaranteed appearance money. The biggest name was the famous Hubert Latham but several others like Joseph Christiaens Charles van den Born "GÂŽo" Ch‡vez Bertram Dickson and LÂŽon Morane had won big prizes at previous meetings and ƒmile Dubonnet had recently made a highly publicized flight across Paris winning the "La Nature" cross-country flight prize.

This is the official program there is a notice on the onionskin reading Ã’Seul Programme OfficielÓ for the 1st Grand Prix Race of the Aero Club of France. The Aero-Club de France was founded as the Aero-Club on October 20 1898 as a society 'to encourage aerial locomotion' by Ernest Archdeacon LÂŽon Serpollet Henri de la Valette Jules Verne and his wife AndrÂŽ Michelin Albert de Dion Alberto Santos-Dumont Henry Deutsch de la Meurthe and Henry de La Vaulx. On April 20 1909 its name was changed to Aero-Club de France. The Aero-Club de France originally set many of the regulations that controlled aviation in France. The first Grand Prix of Aviation of the Aero Club of France was held on June 16 & 17 of 1912. It was the first contest to judge the extent to which the airplane could be depended on as an instrument of war. It was held over a one hundred and fifty-seven kilometer triangle course between the towns of Anger Cholet and Saumur in the region of Anjou in Western France. Thirty-seven manufacturers entered their machines and practically all the famous pilots of Europe were on hand along with most of the military attaches stationed in Paris. On the first day a terrible storm broke out with pounding rain and fierce winds. It caused many of the pilots and planes to drop out. Only Roland Garros stayed in the competition winning the race in 15 hours in his monoplane Bleriot. He won the grand prize of 50000 francs awarded by the Aero Club de France the first prize of 20000 francs for speed and a further prize of 500 francs for another event. The bravery evinced by Garros made him a living legend On 5 October 1918 he was shot down and killed near Vouziers Ardennes a month before the end of the war and one day before his 30th birthday. For the 1912 competition the rules were considerably elaborated. The flight had to be made over a course made up of three different circuits each starting from the same point. The first and third each of about 500 km 310 mi had to have three or four compulsory landing-places and the second of 255 km 158 mi one or two landing places. Refueling was only allowed at the starting point of each circuit. The circuits had to be covered in order and if a competitor landed somewhere other than a nominated airfield they had to start that circuit again. For every 75 kg of useful load carried apart from the pilot and necessary fuel a bonus of 25% was allowed on the time up to a maximum of 100 per cent. The extra load could be made up of passengers or ballast. Competing aircraft had to carry a sealed barograph and an average speed of at least 40 km/h 25 mph had to be maintained. The front cover bears a beautiful color illustration by French artist Maurice Lalau depicting a beautiful French maiden letting some doves free from a basket. He is probably best known for his book Tabubu published in 1928 and arguably the finest illustrated book of the French Art Deco period. The rear cover bears a color ad for a Renault car naturally with a plane flying above. Impressions dÕArt Pierre Lafitte & Cie. unknown‎

Some of these planes have the distinction of being aviation firsts: Henri Marie Coanda was a Romanian inventor aerodynamics pioneer and builder of an experimental aircraft the Coanda-1910 described by Coanda in the mid-1950s as the world's first jet a controversial claim disputed by some and supported by others. In 1910 in the workshop of Gianni Caproni he designed and built an aircraft known as the Coanda-1910 which he displayed publicly at the Second International Aeronautic Salon in Paris that year. The aircraft used a 4-cylinder piston engine to power a rotary compressor which was intended to propel the craft by a combination of suction at the front and airflow out the rear instead of using a propeller. The weird-looking flying machine was called the Ã’Turbo-PropulseurÓ by its inventor. Henri Fabre showed his famous hydroplane for the first time at this exhibition. On 28 March 1910 Frenchman Henri Fabre flew the first successful powered seaplane the Gnome Omega-powered Hydravion a trimaran floatplane. On that day he completed four consecutive flights the longest about 600 meters. the Hydravion has survived and is displayed in the MusÂŽe de l'Air in Paris. Henri Fabre was soon contacted by Glenn Curtiss and Gabriel Voisin who used his invention to develop their own seaplanes. Two of the planes shown the Nieuport IV and the Bleriot were the first planes used in war. The first use of airplanes in an actual war occurred in the 1911 Italo-Turkish War with Italian Army Air Corps BlÂŽriot XI and Nieuport IV monoplanes bombing a Turkish camp at Ain Zara Libya.Hcif ok Auction Galleries February 12 1996 lot 40.

‎EARLY AVIATION‎

‎Album Concerning the Early Years of British Aviation Pioneer A. V. Roe.‎

‎Edinburgh: N.p. 1910-1912. Original quarto album of 24 stiff leaves on stubs and the assembler has used both sides. Containing 14 original typed letters signed 19 original photographs and various pieces of ephemera. Half black roan over black cloth spine perished but still sturdy. An intriguing look into the early years of British aviation. This album was assembled by G. T. Cooper a Scotsman and an instructor at Charterhouse Public School in Godalming Surrey one of the most prestigious English private schools. Cooper was obviously enamored of early aviation and has detailed his researches and communications in this album. By 1911 Cooper had designed and constructed the first glider successfully flown at a public school in England. The "Cooper" glider had a wingspan of 24 feet and was known to have successful flights of 60 to 70 yards at a height of 18 ft. By 1912 G. T. Cooper was secretary of the Edinburgh Aeronautical Society the first in Scotland and offering all members use of a plane his a glider a sand yacht and an excellent library. There are three photographs of Cooper presumably in his glider in this album. Alliott Verdon Roe was a pioneer English pilot and aircraft manufacturer and founder in 1910 of the Avro Company. He operated a very successful flying school out of Brooklands and his company produced aircraft used by the British in WWI. In 1907 Roe began building his first full-size aeroplane the Roe I Biplane based on his winning model aircraft. He tested this at Brooklands in 1907Ã08 recording his first successful flight on 8 June 1908. After encountering problems with the management of Brooklands he moved his flight experiments to Walthamstow Marshes where he rented space under a railway arch at the western end of the viaduct. Despite many setbacks Roe persisted with his experiments and there is now a blue plaque commemorating his first successful flight in July 1909 at the site. His aircraft Avroplane a triplane is preserved in London's Science Museum. Among his other notable achievements were the Avro Monoplane the first totally enclosed airplane and the Avro Biplane the first British airplane to take off from water. He was later knighted and died in 1958. The album opens with two postcards of A. V. Roe and on the verso is a large 3 x 6 inches sample of the wing fabric known as "dope" used on his legendary triplane the Avroplane. Soon after we find 2 signed typed letters on elaborate letterhead from Robert W. A. Brewer manager of the fledgling aircraft company of C. Graham-White & Company in response to Cooper's request for a flight on their Farnham plane. The price was to be 10 guineas and the flight was to be short. Apparently the company had only one plane at that time so scheduling was nearly impossible. Both of these letters are dated May of 1910. Roe and Cooper must have become friendly as aside from the piece of original wing fabric sample from the Avroplane there are seven signed letters from Roe to Cooper all on A. V. Roe and Co. letterhead. The first one is dated December 4th 1910 at the Brooklands Track and the last is dated August 13 1912 at the Brownsfield Mills. They speak of many things including various aspects of glider design Cooper's request for a flight Roe's acceptance of an honorary position at the Edinburgh Aeronautical Society and advice on Cooper's plan to build a Hydro-Aeroplane of this last Roe states; "There is no doubt about it at all that this is the line upon which future developments will take place". The letterhead changes from reading "The Aviator's Storehouse" to "Consulting Aeronautical Engineers." There are also two lists of secondhand aircraft being sold by Roe. A new Gnome-Farnham went for 650 pounds and an Avro Triplane went for 400 pounds. The album is also strewn with various newspaper and magazine cutouts concerning Roe and a number of plates of his various planes many of which appear to be stand alone ads. There is also a letter from the British Federation of School Aero Clubs July 1911 two from Charles G. Grey editor of The Aeroplane Magazine August 1911 and July 1912 and one from The Lakes Flying Company September 1912. This last letter has a half-tone reproduction of the "Water-Bird" on its letterhead. The first product of the Lakes Flying Company was the Lakes Water Bird which first flew on 25 November 1911 but was destroyed in March 1912 when the Hangar collapsed in a gale. The Water Bird was the first successful British seaplane. G. T. Cooper was something of an aviation groupie as there are numerous keepsakes of various meets and exhibitions in the album. Toward the beginning there are 11 photographs of planes and people at the Blackpool Flying Carnival of August 1910. A Flying Carnival organized by the Lancashire Aero Club took place on August 3rd 1910 which would prove to be the last aviation event hosted at Squires Gate as the land was leased to a syndicate who built a horse racecourse that opened in 1911 but only lasted until 1914. The President of the event was the Earl of Lonsdale. Unfortunately according to Flight Magazine Roe lost two of his triplanes in transit to Blackpool so his contributions to the Carnival were minimal. Eight of the photographs are of the star of the meet Claude Grahame-White two are of Blondeau in his Farnham and one of the 'Morning Post' airship. It is during this meet that Cooper may have finally obtained his flight as there is a tipped-in "Passenger Flight Ticket". Next there are three original photographs of planes at the Brooklands-Brighton Race of May 1911. Photographs are of Pixton Hamel and an Avro Biplane. Among the other bits of important historical ephemera are two original brochures of for Keith Prowse. Keith Prowse founded the worldÕs first sales office for aeroplane flight tickets at Brooklands alongside the Bluebird restaurant and offered rides at 2 guineas for a five minute ride. Two of his brochures are included herein none previously known. Both are bifolios measuring 2 x 6 inches and both have the same art nouveau illustration of a biplane on the front. Interestingly and contrary to accepted wisdom in the first brochure Prowse's box office is shown; it is a small shack and nowhere near a restaurant. There are also two tickets for the Brooklands Motor Course dated January 21 and 28 of 1911. Cooper has annotated these: "Admission tickets on days of first two flights at Brooklands" Brooklands was originally an auto course. There is also a two page "Results of the British Circuit". This 1911 race took place on July 22 and was a 1010 miles 1630 km event with 11 compulsory stops and a circular route starting and finishing at Brooklands in Surrey. The winner was Jean Conneau flying under the name of Andre Beaumont in a Bleriot XI who took 22 hours 28 minutes to complete the course an average speed of 45 mph 72 km/h and received the first prize of £10000. The runner up was Jules Vedrines in a Morane-Borel monoplane with James Valentine in a Deperdussin third. Seventeen of the 28 contestants in this race were disqualified as either their plane did not start or only made it a short way. In one case that of Lt. J. C. Porte flying his Deperdussin monoplane the plane actually crashed. The final section of the album concern Cooper's involvement in the Aeronautical Society and include such things as a tipped-in copy of the by-laws and various printed announcements. Throughout the album there are numerous clippings and postcards having to do with Roe aviation and planes. A highly idiosyncratic yet informative firsthand view of the development of aviation in Britain. N.p. hardcover‎

‎EARLY AVIATION‎

‎The First Flight in Japan.‎

‎Yoyogi Japan: N.p. 1911. Original vintage silver gelatin photograph measuring 6 x 4 /14 inches. Very good. This very rare photograph shows the plane on the field ready for take off with a number of cars behind it. On the verso we read in contemporary manuscript- "The first areoplane flight in Japan. Captain Tokugawa about to start in his monoplane at the army maneuver field.". Below that is a stamp - "Newspaper Enterprise Association Pacific Bureau Feb 6 1911". Tokugawa Yoshitoshi was the son of Count Tokugawa Atsumori 1856�1924 head of the Shimizu branch of the Tokugawa clan. Through his father he was the grandnephew of the last shogun Tokugawa Yoshinobu. While his father had been created a count in 1884 he had relinquished the title in 1899. In 1909 Tokugawa was sent as a military attache to France specifically to study aeronautical engineering and military applications for the use of aircraft in combat. He purchased a Farman III biplane which he shipped back to Japan. On 19 December 1910 Tokugawa flew Japan's first successful powered aircraft flight at Yoyogi Parade Ground where Tokyo's Yoyogi Park is now located only seven years after the Wright Brothers' flight in the United States. On 5 April 1911 Tokugawa piloted the inaugural flight at Japan's first permanent airfield in Tokorozawa. Tokugawa came to be known in Japan as "the Grandfather of Flight". Obviously there is a disconnect between Wiki data and the wire service stamp on the back of the photo. The plane shown is absolutely not a Farman they did build a monoplane for 2 years later and much different in appearance. The date-stamp is a clear and unequivocal indication that this photo predates the Wiki account and that the plane in question resembles a 1910 Grade monoplane but could be some other as yet unidentified machine.

‎EARLY AVIATION: TRADE CATALOG‎

‎Wire of Quality: Referring Particularly to that Used in Aerial Navigation.‎

‎Trenton NJ: John A. Roebling's Sons Company. First edition. Small octavo. 24 pp. with a plethora of photographic illustrations. Publisher's sewn blue printed wrappers with a window in the front cover to display a biplane aloft. Small marginal tear not afecting any text. A very good copy. None located by OCLC. The Roebling's history in Trenton dates to 1848 when John A. Roebling purchased 25 acres of land in Chambersburg Best known today as the "father of the Brooklyn Bridge" Roebling and the company he founded supplied cables from Trenton to most of the major suspension bridges built in United States during the first half of the 20th century. Among the dozens of major bridges using Trenton-made cable are New York City's Williamsburg Manhattan and George Washington Bridges as well as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.Roebling Lofts converted the "Clark Street Rope Shop" Building 101 erected in 1917 during WW I. It was an ultra-modern facility for its time with massive windows and a fire resistant design. It replaced an older factory that burned down in late 1915 allegedly by German saboteurs. Building 101 specialized in light- and medium-gauge wire rope such as used in aircraft. Perhaps the factory's most famous customer was Charles Lindbergh who specified Roebling wire for The Spirit of St. Louis the plane he flew non-stop from New York to Paris in 1927. This has been called the single most influential flight in aviation history excepting the 1903 first-flight by the Wright Brothers who also used Roebling cables for bracing wings. Lindbergh used Roebling products for control cables to brace the wings for the ignition harness and the plane's lightning rod. The testing lab for the aircraft business was located on the 4th floor of the Clark Street factory including a massive machine designed to simulate stresses on wings. The machine survives in place on the 4th floor and is being preserved in a lounge for use by residents of Roebling Lofts. John A. Roebling's Sons Company unknown‎

‎AVIATION MEET‎

‎The Daily News; Souvenir of the Bournemouth Centenary Fetes July 6-16 1910.‎

‎London: Te Daily News 1910. Large 9 1/2 x 7 1/2 inches souvenir card that was sold at the famous Bournemouth aviation meet of 1910. It is almost entirely taken up with photographic portraits of aviators at the Meet; Paulhan Farman Rolls Graham-White Grace and Cockburn. Also there are two portraits of city officials and three scenic views of the town. Unfortunately this meeting was also the place where Charles Rolls a director and co-founder of Rolls-Royce Ltd. crashed and died in his Wright brothers airplane his image is on the right side of the card. His Wright flyer was built in England rather than by the American Wright company and his crash was attributed to the inferior construction. In 1910 Bournemouth was celebrating its centenary and as part of the festivities held an aviation meeting at Southbourne Aerodrome where 19 competitors could compete for cash prizes. Categories included longest flight speed altitude and slowest speed. The world speed record at the time was just 47 mph. The prize for the leading flyer at BritainÕs first international aviation meeting went to Leon Morane flying a Bleriot aeroplane. This meet also saw BritainÕs first fatal flying accident involving a powered aircraft. Te Daily News unknown‎
