Best.-Nr. 18789Women in Aviation. Silver gelatin print photo of female pilot sitting in early aircraft with her hands on the gears the body of the plane partially visible behind her. Circa 1920s. 4.75" x 6.5" inches. Legislative barriers as well as social and economic factors made it nearly impossible for women to participate in early aviation. Getting through flight school and gaining access to a plane to fly was a testament to the incredible tenacity and resources required for a woman to access both. Photo shows a woman sitting belted to pilot's seat one hand on each large gear shift feet prepped on the thin ledge above the plane's front tire. She wears a gingham hat cut close to her head a wool coat wool pants and knee-high leather boots with protective-wear covering the shins. The plane's front tire is muddy suggesting she's just landed in a field. A few ink spots do not obstruct the plane or female pilot. This original photo is evidence that women participated in early aviation. Overall good condition. unknown
1918Best.-Nr. 177171918. World War I military aviation. Primary-source photographs documenting early United States military aviation training at Henry Post Airfield Fort Sill Oklahoma during the formative period of the U.S. Army Air Service following its establishment in May 1918. The images record the first generation of American military pilots operating within a rapidly developing aviation program built in response to World War I supporting research into the expansion of U.S. airpower pilot training infrastructure and the integration of aircraft into military operations. The presence of DH-4 two-seat biplane bombers the principal American-built combat aircraft of the war situates the archive within the transition from experimental aviation units to operational military squadrons. A dated caption identifying "October 29 1918 Sergeant Schauble" flying at 3700 feet further anchors the material within the final phase of the war. Archive of 26 silver gelatin photographs Fort Sill Oklahoma circa 1917-1918 each measuring approximately 7.25 x 5.25 inches. The archive includes many photos of the biplanes in the air one photo shows several DH-4 bombers soaring in the clouds in a Flying-V formation. A handwritten caption on one image "October 29 1918 Sergeant Schauble " is depicted flying in a DH-4 at 3700 feet as well as going on a "parachute trip". One photo shows a serious plane crash with two DH-4s biplanes nose down in the ground. The pilots are also depicted in hot air balloons. Fort Sill was home to several US Army Balloon Companies during this period which were still primarily used for reconnaissance and directing aerial bombardment during World War I. The photo archive includes many shots of biplanes in the clouds or on runways with pilots in goggles including 4 images of pilots or troops in group shots. Most photos show the planes or balloons in mid air. . Army balloon companies stationed at Fort Sill for reconnaissance and artillery observation. Several images capture aircraft at altitude among cloud formations while others document runway activity and pre-flight staging. Versos of many prints retain remnants of black album paper indicating removal from a compiled photographic album. The archive documents the early operational environment of American military aviation at a moment when the United States was rapidly expanding its aerial capabilities following limited prewar development including the Army's first acquisition of aircraft from the Wright brothers in 1909. Henry Post Airfield functioned as a central training site for pilots entering service during World War I and the inclusion of both airplane and balloon units reflects the continued reliance on multiple aerial technologies for reconnaissance and combat support. The photographs provide visual evidence of training practices aircraft deployment and the material conditions of early air service operations during a period of institutional formation. Minor edge wear and surface wear are present with album residue on versos; overall very good condition. A cohesive photographic record of early U.S. military aviation training and aircraft use during World War I. unknown

1910Best.-Nr. 173311910. Flight. No. 63 No.11 Vol. II. March 12 1910 London UK. 197 pages. 8.5" x 12" inches. Early aviation weekly magazine that acted as the official organ of the Royal Aero Club of the United Kingdom. Contains multiple articles introducing and analyzing airplane models such as the Wright biplane Macfie British Aeroplane Avis Monoplane and more. This was clearly a highly inventive time in the aeronautical field with a multitude of companies producing these rudimentary single passenger planes for hobbyists such as the likely readership of this magazine. Advertisements for fledgling companies looking to break into the field are littered throughout the magazine. There is also a segment titled: Aviation News of the Week where stories of individual pilots are published regarding their mishaps or successes in the field of flight. The overall tone of this magazine has a quaintness to it with the Flight community being close-knit highly enthusiastic and a bit eccentric. This phenomenon has nonetheless been lost as aeronautics was regulated centralized and militarized as a result of the First World War. This piece is in good condition as wrappers are partially separated minorly chipped and have some stains on front though as a whole the piece is totally suitable for reading. unknown

1923Best.-Nr. 175141923. Wright Orville. Archive of aeronautical speed record trials 1923 a documentary record of early aviation competition and the formalization of international standards for measuring and certifying flight performance. Centered on trials conducted at McCook Field and Wilbur Wright Field in Dayton Ohio the material documents world record attempts over one kilometer 500 kilometers and 1000 kilometers under the supervision of Orville Wright who served as directing official. The archive captures a transitional moment in aviation history when experimental flight gave way to regulated competition with standardized timing calibrated instruments and formal reporting procedures required for international recognition by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale. Archive comprising 14 manuscript and typed documents in English and French accompanied by two original black and white photographs. Materials include official reports submitted to the National Aeronautic Association and to the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale correspondence addressed to Secretary General Paul Tissandier technical certification documents from the Bureau of Standards and timing sheets recording individual pilot performance. A report dated March 29 1923 details speed trials conducted over 500 and 1000 kilometer courses while related documentation records the surveying and marking of one and three kilometer straightaway courses at Wilbur Wright Field. The bilingual nature of the archive reflects the FAI's use of French as its official language with parallel documentation measuring distinct record categories. Recorded achievements include Lt. R. L. Maughan's one kilometer speed of 380.751 kilometers per hour in a Curtiss R 6 Racer Lt. Alex Pearson's 500 kilometer record at 270.06 kilometers per hour and the 1000 kilometer endurance speed of 205 kilometers per hour achieved by Lts. H. R. Harris and R. Lockwood. Photographs depict course pylons at Wilbur Wright Field and official timer Odis A. Porter observing aircraft performance during timed runs. The archive documents the institutionalization of aviation record keeping in the early twentieth century when governing bodies such as the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale established uniform procedures for homologating records across national contexts. The involvement of Orville Wright alongside officials including Lorin Wright and Odis A. Porter situates the trials within the Dayton aviation community that had been central to powered flight since 1903. These materials illustrate the convergence of engineering innovation military aviation through the U.S. Army Air Service and international oversight demonstrating how record setting functioned both as technological advancement and as a structured competitive discipline. Minor handling wear to documents; photographs well preserved with strong contrast. Overall very good condition. unknown
