Soon after that he came to the United States. A former assistant engineer in the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company he championed the use of wireless to communicate with airplanes in flight. Later the same year he learned to fly a Bleriot in England and then joined the Curzon aviators. In 1914 he operated a flying boat service on the Chicago lake front and in the same year was managing editor of Aero & Hydro an aviation weekly paper. In 1915 he opened the Bud Morriss Flying School in Chicago.

Farman; Monoplan Bleriot; Hydravion M. Farman; Hydravion Caudron. There are alos photographic portraits of 10 pilots including one woman: Mme de Laroche. Born on 22 August 1882 in Paris Elise Raymonde Deroche was the daughter of a plumber. She had a fondness for sports as a child as well as for motorcycles and automobiles when she was older. As a young woman she became an actress and used the stage name "Raymonde de Laroche". Inspired by Wright's demonstations of flight in Paris in 1908 she decided to become a pilot. "In October 1909 de Laroche appealed to her friend aviator and aeroplane builder Charles Voisin to instruct her in how to fly. On 22 October 1909 de Laroche went to the Voisin brothers' base of operations at Chalons 90 miles east of Paris. Voisin's aircraft could seat only one person so she operated the plane by herself while he stood on the ground and gave instructions. After she mastered taxiing around the airfield she lifted off and flew 300 yards. De Laroche's flight is often cited as the first by a woman in a powered heavier-than-air craft; there is evidence that two other women P. Van Pottelsberghe and Thérèse Peltier had flown the previous year with Henri Farman and Delagrange respectively as passengers but not as pilots. On 8 March 1910 de Laroche became the first woman in the world to receive a pilot licence when the Aero-Club of France issued her licence #36 of the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale International Aeronautics Federation or F.A.I."

74125Trenton NJ: John A. Roebling's Sons Company. First edition. Small octavo. 24 pp. with a plethora of photographic illustrations. Publisher's sewn blue printed wrappers with a window in the front cover to display a biplane aloft. Small marginal tear not afecting any text. A very good copy. None located by OCLC. The Roebling's history in Trenton dates to 1848 when John A. Roebling purchased 25 acres of land in Chambersburg Best known today as the "father of the Brooklyn Bridge" Roebling and the company he founded supplied cables from Trenton to most of the major suspension bridges built in United States during the first half of the 20th century. Among the dozens of major bridges using Trenton-made cable are New York City's Williamsburg Manhattan and George Washington Bridges as well as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.Roebling Lofts converted the "Clark Street Rope Shop" Building 101 erected in 1917 during WW I. It was an ultra-modern facility for its time with massive windows and a fire resistant design. It replaced an older factory that burned down in late 1915 allegedly by German saboteurs. Building 101 specialized in light- and medium-gauge wire rope such as used in aircraft. Perhaps the factory's most famous customer was Charles Lindbergh who specified Roebling wire for The Spirit of St. Louis the plane he flew non-stop from New York to Paris in 1927. This has been called the single most influential flight in aviation history excepting the 1903 first-flight by the Wright Brothers who also used Roebling cables for bracing wings. Lindbergh used Roebling products for control cables to brace the wings for the ignition harness and the plane's lightning rod. The testing lab for the aircraft business was located on the 4th floor of the Clark Street factory including a massive machine designed to simulate stresses on wings. The machine survives in place on the 4th floor and is being preserved in a lounge for use by residents of Roebling Lofts. John A. Roebling's Sons Company unknown

A letter written by the renowned Russian ace and world record setting Sikorsky test pilot on behalf of Danish-born ballet and Broadway dancer Paul Haakon considered by many to be one of greatest ballet dancers of the 20th century. <br /> <br /> Reading in part: "I have known Paul Haakon Longreen for over sixteen years. In the theatrical profession he is known under the name of Paul Haakon. It is very well known that he is one of the best dancers in the world. He gave up his dancing recently to become a flying instructor purely to serve his country. I sincerely believe that anything which could be done to facilitate his joining the United States Army Air Force reserve would benefit our war effort."<br /> <br /> Despite Sergievsky's recommendation in our letter it seems Haakon never became a combat pilot during WWII and instead toured as an entertainer with the United Service Organizations.

192917575<p>Underwood 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.</p> Underwood and Underwood,

Gray traveled all over the eastern United States as barnstormers in their Wright Model B.

She also discusses her contemporary woman aviators including Elinor Smith Ruth Nichols Ruth Elder Camp Opal Kunz and many others. Gray writes in the foreword: "'Jack' is my nickname. I have borne with it flown with it and now I feel like it. Edith is my real name but on only three rare occasions have I used it" including "when I visited Ethel Roosevelt at the White House in 1908."
