‎Sir Charles Harvard Gibbs-Smith AVIATION Three Autograph Letters Signed and a Typed Letter Signed to Luckhurst and Griggs Royal Society of Arts together with four unsigned carbons of Typed Letters from them to him.‎

‎1949-51; three on letterheads of the Victoria & Albert Museum. Historian of aviation 1909-81 at the Victoria & Albert Museum London. Eight items various formats. Very good. LETTER ONE two pages octavo 14 January 1949 on V & A letterhead: 'As a very new fellow of the Society I hesitate to burden you with reading the enclosed an article on 'Father Gusmao: the first practical pioneer in aeronautics' not present but I thought there might be some chance of its appearing in the Journal. It is too historical for the Roy. Aeronautical Society's Journal and too aeronautical for the others so I am stuck! .' LETTER TWO one page 12mo 10 September 1949 on V & A letterhead: 'As foreigners like letters and titles' provides a title for the article on a separate leaf cancelled letterhead of 'THE ROYAL AERO CLUB'. LETTER THREE two pages quarto no date 'Pension Suliva <> Switzerland': Thanks Griggs for the galleys and asks if he can 'hold it up until I return as I have some new material at home which will need substituting about three lines of type'. Asks for 'rough block pulls' of the illustrations to be sent to the V & A. LETTER FOUR one page quarto typed 19 May 1951 on V & A letterhead: 'I now have in my hands the printed edition of your Cantor Lectures. May I say how much I like them and how very nice they look in their new suit of clothes. I am so glad that you have made such a careful record of the origins because that is the subject which we here are most hazy about and had not got the documents. By the way I have just written a new introductory poster for the Exhibition here in which I have again hammered home the origin of the Royal Society of Arts. .'. From carbon of letter from Griggs one page quarto 1 February 1949: 'You may remember that we met I suppose two years ago at Pam Churchill's and afterwards dined together at the Savile. . About Christmas time someone was telling me of an apparently hare-brained scheme to include a captive balloon among the attractions for the forthcoming "Chelsea Week" which takes place sometime in April. The person who was telling me about it seemed moderately serious on the matter and is a Member of the Organising Committee. I immediately thought of you as the expert on balloons .'. 1949-51; three on letterheads of the Victoria & Albert Museum. hardcover‎

Sowhere did the dream go wrong One answer was provided by C. G. Greywho wrote in 1926 that 'airships breed like elephants and aeroplanes like rabbits'.If that is less than a complete explanationthe allusion is not without its apt tone of comic absurdity.Consider the tale of the captain of the L6 blown off course in a gale as darkness fellholding conversation with his supposed rescuer on the ground belowand discovering that he was talking to his own petty officer who had tumbled unnoticed out of the airship's flight gondola.Or the family who found their isolated house dwarfed by the skeletal remains of a giant beast which had quietly died in the night.There wereof coursethose who perished painfully in their enthusiasm for airships.Yet no morbid or mournful note is struck in the astonishing story of simple pioneering faith which Len Deighton unfolds.Nothing is so apparent in his pictures as the air of gaiety and festival that often attended scenes of rescue and salvage. Superficially it might seem that airships were a follya passing fada brief interval between centuries of slowmuscle-bound earthly travel and the age of rockets in space.That would be to overlook the mystique of the airshipenshrined in this book as a sort of divine catalysta spark burning bright and extinguished in an instant having enabled men to cross a threshold and move out to the far reaches of the universe. <br />Please contact sellerbecause of the lighter weight of this item for correct shipping/Pp quotes - particularly ALL overseas buyers - BEFORE ordering through the order page! <br />N.B.

Bound in the original silver-stamped bluish-green boards. Complete with dust jacket. From the publisher: "For astronaut Ron Garan living on the International Space Station was a powerful transformative experience one that he believes holds the key to solving our problems here on Earth. On space walks and through windows Garan was struck by the stunning beauty of the Earth from space but sobered by knowing how much needed to be done to help this troubled planet. And yet on the International Space Station Garan a former fighter pilot was working work side by side with Russians who only a few years before were the enemy. If fifteen nationalities could collaborate on one of the most ambitious technologically complicated undertakings in history surely we can apply that kind of cooperation and innovation toward creating a better world. That spirit is what Garan calls the orbital perspective. Garan vividly conveys what it was like learning to work with a diverse group of people in an environment only a handful of human beings have ever known. But more importantly he describes how he and others are working to apply the orbital perspective here at home embracing new partnerships and processes to promote peace and combat hunger thirst poverty and environmental destruction. This book is a call to action for each of us to care for the most important space station of all: planet Earth. You don t need to be an astronaut to have the orbital perspective. Garan's message of elevated empathy is an inspiration to all who seek a better world.". SIGNED by the AUTHOR his signature only. First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover.
