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'.

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

1929réf. 17575Underwood and Underwood n.d. 1929 On January 2 1929 Evelyn "Bobbi" Trout 1906 – 2003 set the women's endurance flight record with a time of twelve hours and eleven minutes. The record didn't last a month however before being beaten by Elinor Smith 1911 – 2010 by over an hour. The next month Trout reclaimed the record with a seventeen-hour flight; in April Smith smashed the record with a time of twenty-six hours. Trout and Smith's rivalry led them to collaboration: while participating in the Women's Transcontinental Air Derby in the summer of 1929 they agreed to attempt a month-long endurance flight. The present photo commemorates their first attempt which took place in November of 1929. Though Trout and Smith were able to successfully refuel the plane while in the air three times mechanical issues grounded them after forty-two hours. They set the women's endurance flight record with the time. The photograph shows aviator Bobbi Trout warming up the motor of a Commercial Aircraft Corporation "Sunbeam" plane at the Los Angeles Metropolitan Airport where Trout and Elinor Smith took off on their refueling endurance flight. The typewritten commentary suggests the headline "BOBBIE sic TROUT AND ELEANOR sic SMITH BURY THE HATCHET IN PREPARATION FOR REFUELING ENDURANCE FLIGHT. Photograph 10" x 8" with leaf of typewritten commentary by Underwood and Underwood adhered to verso at bottom edge. Some toning to edges and verso and some wear to the commentary leaf. Very good. Both Trout and Smith had illustrious aviation careers. Trout set an altitude record for light-class aircraft in June of 1929 and set another women's endurance flight record in 1931 by spending over 122 hours in the air with actress Edna Mae Cooper. Alongside Amelia Earhart Phoebe Omlie Louise Thaden and Blanche Noyes Trout co-founded the Ninety-Nines an organization for women pilots. Trout also co-founded founded the Women's Air Reserve with Pancho Barnes. Underwood and Underwood,
