The worldÕs first international overseas airplane flight was achieved by French aviator Louis Bleriot in a monoplane on July 25 1909. He took off from France and landed in England near Dover where he was greeted by the British police. He financed his aeronautical ambitions with the money he received from developing developed the first practical headlamp for trucks. Between July 1909 and the beginning of World War I in August 1914 the Bleriot factory became the industry leader and produced more than 800 aircraft many of them Type XI monoplanes or variations of that design.

EARLY AVIATION
Curtiss Training Camps; Newport News VA. Buffalo N.Y. Hammondsport N.Y.
Buffalo: Curtiss Areoplane Co. 1916. First edition. Octavo. 8 pages with photographic illustrations throughout. Publisher's stapled card wrappers with the front bearing a photographic illustration of the hangar at Newport News. An excellent copy of this genuinely rare item. No copies located by OCLC.The Arthur Nutt Collection at the Smithsonian has a listing with no bibliographic details for an item with the same title but the imprint is different: Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Corporation. This seems to have been issued to advertise the opening of the Curtis Flying School in Newport News. Curtiss started the Atlantic Coast Aeronautical Station on a 20-acre tract east of Newport News VA Boat Harbor in the Fall of 1915 with Captain Thomas Scott Baldwin as head. It soon changed its name to Curtiss Flying School. With the outbreak of World War I in Europe in 1914 Curtiss had a very good reason to open another flying school. His existing schools in Hammondsport and Buffalo N.Y. San Diego and Toronto were not only filled to capacity by would-be fliers from Canada Britain and other countries but also straining to keep up with wait lists that numbered in the hundreds. Many civilian students including Canadians later became World War I flyers. Victor Carlstrom Vernon Castle Eddie Stinson and Gen Billy Mitchell trained here. Students would work toward completing the Aero Club of America pilot's license. The initial cost was one dollar a minute for the four-hundred-minute course $8600 in 2010 dollars. In 1917 the U.S. Army took over operations during World War I. After the war control went back to Curtiss who closed operations in 1922. This brochure states that all experimental work was done at the Virginia school. Instruction in sea and land planes was offered at both Newport News and Buffalo but the Hammonsportschool only offered land-based planes. Curtiss Areoplane Co. unknown

Savannna: Batson Air Navigation Company 1913. First edition. Small octavo 20 pp. with 6 full page artistic rendering of the the six-winged air yacht. Publisher's string-tied blue wrappers with raised gilt lettering Navigation of the Air on the front. Laid is is a Financial Plan for the Batson Air Navigation Company in which Batson offers Preferred and Common Stock he even included a sase. A wonderful copy. OCLC only locates one copy. The Batson Air Navigation Company began setting up its Dutch Island manufacturing facility in early 1913 and went to work straight away planning the Batson Aero Yacht. An early aeronautic visionary Matthew A. Batson imagined building the boat-like aircraft to easily carry cargo crew and passengers across the Atlantic Ocean to Liverpool England. Passenger fare would be no small amount at $2000 for the projected 36-hour flight. The airframe consisted of six forty-foot wings and a gondola type cabin fixed with struts and braces to a seventy-foot pontoon. Powered by three 120 hp Emerson six cylinder engines On November 17 1913 BatsonÕs highly anticipated invention was finally afloat on the waters of the Herb River in its debut to reporters and spectators from near and far. Although there are mixed reports of exactly how and when it happened while anchored in the river the plane was damaged in an apparent accident. Not long after it was announced that all Aero Yacht activities were suspended and a smaller version of the aircraft later dubbed the Dragonfly would be constructed to carry out all future trials. Pioneer aviators and engineers from around the world flocked to Savannah to inspect the planes and offer their assistance but the fate of Captain BatsonÕs invention seemed to have already been determined. Due to a lack of continued support the Aero Yacht would never get off the ground to make its transatlantic flight. Batson Air Navigation Company unknown

Paris: Librairie Aeronautique 1911. First edition. Quarto 9 x 12 3/4 inches. 88 pp. with aeronautical photographic illustrations on virtually every page. Publisher's bright red cloth with black borders front cover bearing a ornate gilt frame with gilt lettering inside light brown endpapers. Gilt signed on the lower front cover "Librairie A. Pigoreau". Only six copies located by OCLC. A wonderful copy. There are chapters on the architecture of the exhibition aerial photography aeroplane motors and the physiology of flight but the most important chapter is that of the planes exhibited in Paris in 1910; The were: Antoinette Astra Bleriot Breguet Coanda Deperdussin Esnault-Pelterie Fabre Henri Farman Maurice Farman Goupy Hanriot Koechlin Liore Nieuport Paulhan Pischoff Santos-Dumont Saulnier Sloan Sommer Tellier Vinet Voisin A full page is devoted to the description of each aircraft and each has a large photographic illustration. 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 ÒTurbo-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 MusŽe 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 BlŽriot XI and Nieuport IV monoplanes bombing a Turkish camp at Ain Zara Libya.

EARLY AVIATION
Course Paris-Deauviille Hydroaeroplanes: Concourse d'Avions Marin.
Paris: Aero-Club de France 1913. First edition of the official program. Octavo 9 1/2 x 6 1/4 inches. 32 pp with each page bearing a decorative border. Numerous illustrations and ads and a map of the race course. Publisher's string-tied wrappers with both covers bearing magnificent color illustrations original onionskin overlays to wrapper with the original seal for Gnome Motors. An excellent copy. No copies located by OCLC.This is a dual program; part for the Paris-Deauville Seaplane Race and part for the seaplane exhibition at Deauville. Nine pilots took off from the Seine in the race with 50000 spectators watching. Because of the harsh wind conditions many pilots had to set down and wait. George Chemet in his plane with a modest 80hp engine won the race with an average speed of less than 56 mph. Francois Mollet came in second despite his having landed his plane for a leisurely lunch at Vernon. This appears to be the second seaplane race the first having been at Monaco a few months earlier. The seond part of this meet followed the basically standard routine; tests for duration height etc. Of course sea-worthiness was added as a category. There were 13 participants in this event. After to winnowing the field to eight flyers the final event took place on on August 29th and after. "Although before the competition observers had been worried about the severity of the requirements on the first day Molla's Leveque plane took the prize for the best average over 250 nautical miles with a speed of 53.18mph including one stop. Moineau's Breguet won the prize for speed over 100 nautical miles with 62mph" Nicolaou: Flying Boats and Seaplanes. Eugene Renaux in his Maurice-Farman biplane won the award for distance. The engines that fared well were the non-rotary engine and overall the planes were more powerful than at the earlier Monaco meeting. There was an ulterior motive for this race as France wanted to decide on which plane to buy for its military they chose the Breguet H-U3. Aero-Club de France unknown

The Rausenberger Aeronautical Motor: Reliable Simple Strong.
Dayton OH: Dayton Areo Motors Company 1914. First edition. Oblong octavo 9 1/4 x 6 1/2 inches. 14 1 pp. With numerous illustrations of the motor and one full page illustration of a plane in flight. Publisher's stapled green wrappers with gilt and green lettering to the front cover. An excellent copy. None located on OCLC or at auction. This stylish brochure was issued to advertise Rausenberg's first v-12 aviation motor. Designed by L. E. Rausenberger and distributed by the Dayton Aero Motors Company this engine was created to fill "the demand for aeronautical motors of higher power and more perfect balance than those now in use for heavier than air flight" p. 3. It produced 150 HP and weighed a mere 590 pounds due to the use of aluminum. Rausenberger was already quite famous as an engine designer. In 1909 the Wright Company formed to produce airplanes. The Model B was their first production airplane and it was powered by a 75 horsepower Rausenberger engine. He designed a total of 6 engines during his career. His last engine was the Rausie E6 and it powered the first plane to cross the Andes. "Larence Rausenberger 1887-1980 was one of Logan CountyÕs most distinguished native sons. Born on his familyÕs farm in DeGraff the young Rausenberger became very interested in machines and how they worked. As a young man he restored a steam operated traction machine used to pull a thrasher through the fields. He also reconditioned a gasoline engine that he hooked up to the farmÕs well to pump the water so he would not have to pump it by hand. However it was as an adult that RausenbergerÕs superior knowledge of engines impacted the world. Rausenberger developed several airplane engines that made aviation still in its infancy safer and more efficient. He built many of his engines at his workshop in Bellefontaine. Some of Rausenberger's engines included the ÒA-1Ó the ÒB-SeriesÓ and the ÒS/N-2.Ó Rausenberger went all over the world to demonstrate promote and sell his innovative airplane engines" Logan County History Center.

The Cody Flyer".
Gale & Polden Printers : Aldershot Hampshire England 1913. First edition Tall octavo. 12 pp. including 11 photographic illustrations and one diagram of the Cody Monoplane. Publisher red wrappers with gilt cover lettering. In the original printed envelope. Aside fron a bit of rust from the staples an excellent copy. Only 1 copy located by OCLCThis is mainly a sales brochure for the Cody Monoplane but the first two pages are taken up with his famous War Kite.Samuel Franklin Cowdery was born in 1867 in Davenport Iowa was a Wild West showman and early pioneer of manned flight. He changed his name to Cody at age 21 when he was part of a touring Wild West show not to be confused with that of Buffalo Bill Cody. He is most famous for his work on the large kites known as Cody War-Kites that were used by the British in World War I as a smaller alternative to balloons for artillery spotting. Financed by his Wild West shows Cody's unusual interest in manned kites advanced significantly when he enlarged upon Lawrence Hargrave's double-cell box kite to increase its lifting power especially by adding wings on either side. He patented his design in 1901 and it became known as the Cody kite. Cody eventually managed to interest the British Army in his kites. In 1906 he was appointed Chief Instructor of Kiting for the Balloon School in Aldershot and soon after joined the new Army Balloon Factory down the road at Farnborough. The Factory would eventually become the Royal Aircraft Establishment. In 1908 the War Office officially adopted Cody's kites for the Balloon Companies he had been training. This group would in due course evolve into the Air Battalion of the Royal Engineers No. 1 Company of which later became No. 1 Squadron Royal Flying Corps and eventually No. 1 Squadron Royal Air Force. During 1907 he was given full authority as the designer of the the British governments dirigible understructure and propulsion system. On 5 October 1907 Britain's first powered airship British Army Dirigible No 1 and using Cody's engine the Nulli Secundus flew from Farnburough to London. In 1907 the British Army decided to back the development of Cody's powered aeroplane the British Army Aeroplane No 1. His flight of 16 October 1908 is recognized as the first official flight of a piloted heavier-than-air machine in Great Britain. He went on to win a number of aeronautical awards and started developing his own aircraft company. That company produced the Cody Flyer a monoplane for which this pamphlet was issued. On 7 August 1913 he was test flying his latest design the Cody Floatplane when it broke up at 200 feet and he and his passenger the cricketer William Evans were killed.H Aldershot, Hampshire [England] unknown

Naiad Aeronautical Cloth.
New York: The C. E. Connover Company ca. 1910. First edition of this sample catalog. Small bifoloium 3 1/2 x 5 7/8 inches; 4 pp. On the cover is a photographic illustration of a Wright Model A in flight and using Naiad cloth for the wings. Inside are four actual cloth samples with their prices on the opposing page. The rear cover is taken up with an explanation of the various benefits of the four cloths advertised. Some edge wear but a very good copy of this extremely ephemeral piece of early aviation advertizing. No copies have ever been recorded or sold.C. E. Connover began his Naiad manufacture around 1906 in order to sell "Dress Shields". In the days before modern antiperspirants these shields were placed by women in the underarm in order to alleviate unsightly sweat marks. He soon realized that he had the machinery and know-how to manufacture cloth known in the aviation world as "dope' for airplane wings in the nascent aviation market. Connover's cloth was very widely used and very well regarded. Among others it was used on the Herring-Burgess Model A the Cooley Airship and many others. The C. E. Connover Company hardcover

International Sport with Flying-Machines caption title
Boston 1908. 3pp. tall folded bifolium. Early aviation ephemera. Inspired by a similar aviation prize having been issued in France and by the technical improvements resulting by international yachting competitions on April 18 1908 the American Aviation Prize Fund was established by aviation pioneers James Means Octave Chanute A. Lawrence Rotch and telephone inventor Alexander Graham Bell. The present ephemeral handbill was circulated to "those interested in aviation" soliciting $100 from 250 individuals in order to fund a prize for an international sporting contest of flying machines. Published just prior to the Wright Brothers May 1908 demonstrations in Europe the prize was evidently an early attempt to establish similar air shows in the United States. unknown

Republic F-84 swept-wing Variants
Arlington TX: Aerofax Inc. Very Good. 1987. 1st Edition; 1st Printing. Paperback. B&W and Color Illustrations; This is an oversized paperback book with heavy illustrated cardstock covers and a stapled spine. The book is in Very Good condition and was issued without a dust jacket. There is some beginning bumping to the spine ends and corners. The text pages are clean and bright. "First of the swept-wing subsonic jet fighters to serve in the USAF was the North American F-86 Sabre which made its first flight on October 1 1947. Before production ended nearly 10 000 Sabres had been produced in 20 different variants including the Navy FJ series known as the Fury with five different engines. During its long service life the F-86 formed a part of the air forces of 24 different countries. As late as 1980 eight Third World nations still included a number of F-86 fighters in their inventories. Production lines were established in four foreign countries with the last aircraft coming from the Japanese line in 1961. The Sabre saw extensive service with the USAF during the Korean war in which it achieved an outstanding exchange ratio of nearly 14 to I in combat with the Soviet-built MiG-15. Surely the F-86 must be ranked along with its illustrious World War 11 ancestor the P-51 Mustang as one of the great fighter aircraft of all time. " . Aerofax, Inc. paperback

"Grahame-White's interest in aviation was sparked by Louis Bl�riot's crossing of the English Channel in 1909. This prompted him to go to France where he attended the Reims aviation meeting at which he met Bl�riot and subsequently enrolled at his flying school. Grahame-White was one of the first people to qualify as pilot in England becoming the holder of Royal Aero Club certificate No. 6 awarded in April 1910. He became a celebrity in England in April 1910 when he competed with the French pilot Louis Paulhan for the �10000 prize offered by the Daily Mail newspaper for the first flight between London and Manchester in under 24 hours. Although Paulhan won the prize Grahame White's achievement was widely praised." The book gives a history of aviation especially heavier-than-air flight and then goes on to predict possibilites of the future of aviation. . Chatto & Windus hardcover
