19191881971919. The nuts and bolts of the air war in the desert Superbly detailed visual record of the RAF's central logistical hub for the Middle East theatre serving the region from Egypt to the Hejaz. The depot offered complete servicing from erection out of the crate to scrapping after strike off. Images include personnel groups exteriors and interiors of workshops warehouses hangars and auxiliary buildings: a complete survey of the staffing and facilities of the complex. The prints are of striking quality the images sharply focussed and crisply printed rewarding close examination under a lens with a wealth of detail. Perhaps the most arresting photographically are the shots of the storage spaces unoccupied aisles extending into the distance filled with fastidiously ordered ranks of parts; a touch uncanny but effectively evocative of scale and rigorous organization. Based at RAF Aboukir Abu Qir near Alexandria X AD was the largest such facility in the region part of a complex including an airfield home base for a flight school and several training squadrons - craft where identified Nieuports and SE-5s bear tail numbers assigned to regional trainers - all of which continued in use until the end of WWII. The present copy is uncaptioned but comparison with records of the two copies traced through auction - the only others found - it is possible to identify a number of the images: various groups of personnel HQ staff carpenters fitters stores staff football and gymnastics teams; the headquarters buildings; tool stores; the contents of the parts stores encompassing small fabric pieces aircraft fittings spare wings and planes motor machine-gun engine and balloon spares; the depot's motor transport vehicles mainly Crossley tenders; the base tennis courts; the engine-erecting shop; outdoor engine testing; hangars; the riggers' shop dismantling shop dope shop and salvage hangar.

Octavo 78 / 78 pages brown printed wrappers with yapp edges with short tears <br/><br/>" The first time I saw an aeroplane fly was at Le Mans France in the summer of 1908. Wilbur Wright had come over from America to make some demonstrations ." McCormick relates his extended first meeting with Wright at LeMans for his first and record-breaking flight in France. Soon thereafter McCormick took his first flight at Dayton piloted by Frank sic Parmalee surely Philip Orin Parmelee d.1912 which is also described at length. McCormick was a scion of Cyrus McCormick the inventor of the McCormick reaper. He succeeded his older brother Cyrus as Chairman of the Board of International Harvester and married John D. Rockefeller's daughter. Princeton University his alma mater holds his Aviation archives. Altho not a pilot himself McCormick was an early passionate devotee to manned flight. This is evident in this wide-ranging illustrated paen to aviation which he presented to the Psychological Club in Zurich in mid-December 1917. This bi-lingual edition with English and German on facing pages has 156 pages as opposed to the probably later English-only version printed circa 1918 in 67 pages in Zurich by the Art Institute Orell Fussli. McCormick organized the Aviation Meet at Chicago in 1912 when the Gordon Bennett Cup trophy was won by Jules Verdrines at 108.16 mph.
