From the Dust Jacket: "These diaries of the father of Wilbur and Orville Wright record the full range of experiences of his adult life from 1857 to his death in 1917. They provide a detailed chronicle of Milton Wright's dynamic and sometimes controversial ministry and leadership in the United Brethren Church and his role as the father of the famed inventors of powered flight Probably the most important contribution the diaries make to present day scholarship on the Wright Brothers is the greater knowledge we gain about the dynamics of the Wright family Taken as a whole the diaries provide an essential resource in the study of the history of the Wright Brothers' career in aviation the history of the United Brethren Church and the life of a man dedicated to his family and his church." kEYWORDS: Wright Brothers.

1918177171918. 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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
