AVIATION James MEANS; Alexander Graham BELL; Octave CHANUTE and A. Lawrence ROTCH
International Sport with Flying-Machines caption title
Boston 1908. tall folded bifolium. 10 15/16 x 6 inches. 3pp. Early aviation ephemera.<br/> <br/> 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

[Aviation] [Sydney Harbour]
A collection of fifteen vintage oblique aerial photographs of Sydney Harbour taken during the Second World War
Fifteen gelatin silver prints one 127 × 129 mm all others 134 × 139 mm slightly curled around the vertical axis; in uniformly fine condition Numbers pencilled on the verso of all but the small print include '/43' so we will suggest 1943 as the date. The only caption is a later one in ballpoint pen identifying Darling Harbour; there are another two featuring the same general area. Eight feature Garden Island prominently in all but one instance and four focus on Cockatoo Island; the former was a major naval base and the latter the main ship repair facility during the Second World War. Although the photographs are not credited given the nature of the images and the fact they were taken during wartime they were presumably taken with authorisation. Offered with the photographs is 'Sydney an Aerial Close-up' by Walter Brooks with photography by Neil Sutherland 1986; those familiar with Sydney in 2024 may derive some pleasure in drawing two comparisons . 16 items. unknown

Aviation Australian Flying Corps
A vintage photograph captioned in the negative 'ARS. AFC Stroud 27/4/18' and 'Photo Comley' featuring a team of rugby players wearing ARS-branded jerseys with Australian servicemen in uniform behind them
An unmounted sepia-toned gelatin silver print 149 × 199 mm; in fine condition We suggest the eighteen members of the squad come from the Aeroplane Repair Section of the Australian Flying Corps based at Leighterton. We purchased this photograph with a small group of aerial photographs of Leighterton Aerodrome about which the Australian War Memorial has this to say: 'By 1917 the Australian Flying Corps AFC consisted of four operational squadrons which outstripped the ability of the Army's Central Flying School at Point Cook to supply sufficient trained airmen. It was decided therefore to establish training squadrons within the AFC. Four such squadrons were subsequently established in the United Kingdom during 1917. 8 Squadron AFC was formed at Wendover on 24 October 1917. It was originally identified as 33 Australian Training Squadron Royal Flying Corps but was renamed along with all of the Australian squadrons in January 1918. The squadron relocated to Cirencester on 9 January 1918 and thence to Leighterton where it remained until disbanded in April 1919. The squadron's principal role was to prepare personnel for service with what was at first 71 Australian Squadron RFC and subsequently 4 Squadron AFC which was operating with British forces over the Western Front' AWM website. unknown

An album of 119 photographs of British aircraft of the Second World War chiefly various models of the Vickers Wellington and Vickers Warwick bombers including many rare and unique prototypes
Many of the photographs appear to have been taken at Vickers' Brooklands factory near Weybridge Surrey the famous banked race track is visible in many images and possibly also at the nearby Royal Aircraft Establishment Farnborough Hampshire. Nearly all are dated ranging from 1937 to 1946. The gelatin silver prints have been cropped to highlight the stationary aircraft; the resulting photographs are in a visually appealing panoramic format with most of them between 55 and 75 mm high some smaller some larger and approximately 190 mm wide. They are loosely mounted from three to five per page under clear celluloid sheets in a later commercial photograph album. The album is neither here nor there; apart from a crease near a short edge of one print the photographs are in excellent condition. Approximately 35 different aircraft are shown each represented by between two and five photographs taken from different angles. The verso of each print carries the inkstamp of the RTP Research and Technical Publications Photographic Section of variously the Air Ministry Ministry of Aircraft Production or Ministry of Supply. These stamps restricting reproduction are completed in manuscript with a reference number and date; at least one image is also stamped 'Secret'. <p>The aircraft shown are: Vickers Wellesley Production; Armstrong Whitworth Whitley; Vickers B1/35 1939 1940 and 1941 models - these are prototypes for the Warwick; Vickers Wellington Mk II with and without experimental turret Mk III Mk IV Mk V Mk VIII an unidentified model with an experimental turret Mk X Mk XI Mk XII Gr Mk IV Mk XVI Mk XVII Mk XVIII and T Mk X; Vickers Warwick Mk I Mk I freighter Mk II ASR Mk I ASR Mk I Tropical C Mk I C Mk III Gr Mk II and Gr Mk V; De Havilland Vampire Mk I Mk II Prototype; Westland Welkin Prototype F Mk I F Mk 2; and Vultee Vengeance Mk I. unknown

Aviation Western Front
Three aerial photographs of the small village of Champneuville near Verdun taken in July and August 1917
The vintage gelatin silver photographs are in excellent condition; two are 130 × 180 mm taken on 22 July; one is 180 × 240 mm taken on 14 August. The large one is a slightly raking view of the village taken from a height of 400 metres; the substantial shell damage to virtually every building is clearly evident. The two smaller photographs are taken from a higher altitude and the extensive networks of trenches and numerous shell craters are the stand-out features. <p>From late June 1916 to early October 1916 Champneuville and other villages in the surrounding area were the scene of attacks and counter-attacks between the German and French forces. In late August 1916 the French recaptured Champneuville during the Second Offensive Battle of Verdun. We have several other aerial views of the Western Front for sale; enquiries welcome. 3 items. unknown

Aviation
A striking sepia-toned photograph of a Bristol F.2B biplane piloted by pioneering Australian aviator Captain Harry Butler while on an anti-submarine patrol off the coast of Scotland in late 1917 or 1918. At the time Butler was fighting-instructor at the Royal Flying Corps School of Aerial Gunnery and Fighting at Turnberry now a Trump golf resort
Fine. The sepia-toned print image size 232 × 289 mm is behind glass in its original timber frame 425 × 475 mm; the window mat is wood-grained possibly cut from a veneer sheet. Remnants of the contemporary Adelaide framer's label 'Dimond Bros' are on the verso along with the pencilled details of the job. Small scratch to the bottom portion of the image; one tiny spot; otherwise in fine condition. The framer's pencilled notes indicate that the original client's name was Butler almost certainly Harry Butler himself during his brief years in Adelaide between the war and his early death in 1924. An article from the Adelaide 'Advertiser' for Tuesday 21 May 1946 records Butler's own description of this scene in a pencilled note dated 2 February 1918 uncovered on the verso of another example of this photograph. 'It was taken by our school photographer as I was on a Bristol Fighter about sunset to do a submarine patrol. You notice the Christmas card-looking island in the distance. That is known as Ailsa Craige in fact Ailsa Craig and is about halfway between here and Belfast'. <p>'Harry Butler 1889-1924 showed his enthusiasm and aptitude for mechanics by building models of primitive aircraft while still at school in Koolywurtie; he later accorded farm-work a lower priority than collaboration with a neighbour and lifelong mentor S.C. Crawford in building and flying one of Australia's early aeroplanes. Among the February 1915 candidates Butler alone gained entrance as an aeromechanic to the Australian Flying School at Point Cook Victoria. Commissioned three weeks after joining the Royal Flying Corps in 1916 he became fighting-instructor at Turnberry Scotland in 1917 and chief fighting-instructor at No. 2 Yorkshire School of Aerial Fighting in 1918. He alternated teaching with studying German aerial combat tactics over France and he received the Air Force Cross in 1918' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. <p>Our thanks to Mr Les Parsons for providing us with many important details regarding this image. unknown
