Ellen Morris and Dr. Holly Pittman co-authored the section on ancient seals. Dr. Dominick A. Pisano describes the collection's ephemera -- ads news clipping dime novels sheet music etc. Edward Rochette selected and described the history and significance of the catalogue's numismatics. Chronology. Bibliography. Index. From the Dust Jacket: "This book meets a long-standing need to provide scholars worldwide and the general public with an illustrated catalogue of selected holdings of one of the most prestigious aeronautical history collections in existence -- the Colonel Richard Gimbel collection on the history of man's dream of flight from antiquity to the advent of powered flight at the beginning of the twentieth century. Richard Gimbel born in 1898 was the son of one of the founders of the Gimbel Department store chain. He graduated from Yale University and served as vice president of the Gimbel Corporation. He began his collection on the history of flight while serving with the 8th U.S. Army Air Force in England during World War II. After retiring from the U.S. Air Force in 1953 he became Curator of Aeronautical Literature at Yale where he continued building his collection. According to his wishes it was donated to the United States Air Force Academy upon his death in 1970. Colonel Gimbel's goal in assembling the collection was to document man's dreams of and efforts to attain flight. The collection's more than 20000 objects vividly reflect both humanity's vision and its fulfillment. Five thousand year old seals carved from semi-precious stones and used to inscribe clay tablets record man's earliest conception of flight. Among the collection's thousands of books are priceless volumes printed before 1501. Many such as Robert Hooke's PHILOSOPHICAL COLLECTIONS 1682 are serious scientific studies of the possibility of flight. Others are about imaginary voyages into space and to other worlds including Ludovico Ariosto's ORLANDO FURIOSO 1547 Cyrano de Bergerac's account of a voyage to the moon first published in 1651 and of course the nineteenth-century classics of Jules Verne. More than 2000 prints portraits engravings etchings woodcuts and lithographs in both color and black and white comprise a unique and arresting pictorial history of aeronautics. Important letters written by pioneers of flight -- Montgolfier Blanchard Lunardi Lilienthal Count von Zeppelin Santos-Dumont Langley and the Wright brothers -- are to be found among the collection's manuscript holdings. There are also rare commemorative medallions sheet music posters dime novels postcards and postage stamps early flight manuals catalogues of aircraft equipment match boxes and even children's games and toys -- all recording in one way or another humanity's aspirations to fly.". First Edition. Oversize Hardcover heavy. New/New. xi 372pp. The Friends of the United States Air Force Academy Library / University of Washington Press Hardcover‎
