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.

From the dust jacket: "With the 100th anniversary of his birth on September 7 2015 Dick Cole has long stood in the powerful spotlight of fame that has followed him since his B-25 was launched from a Navy carrier and flown toward Japan just four months after the attack on Pearl Harbor. In recognition the tremendous boost Doolittle's Raid gave American morale members of The Tokyo Doolittle Raiders were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in May 2014. Doolittle's Raid was only the opening act of Cole's flying career during the war. When that mission was complete and all of the 16 aircraft had crash-landed in China many of the survivors were assigned to combat units in Europe. Cole remained in India after their rescue and was assigned to Ferrying Command flying the Hump of the Himalayas for a year in the world's worst weather with inadequate aircraft few aids to navigation and inaccurate maps. More than 600 aircraft with their crews were lost during this monumental effort to keep China in the war but Cole survived and rotated home in 1943. He was home just a few months when he was recruited for the First Air Commandos and he returned to India to participate in Project 9 the aerial invasion of Burma.".

The movie starred Jack Holt Ralph Graves and Fay Wray two years before her huge success in King Kong. This was the first Columbia Pictures film to receive a glamorous premiere at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre. A.L. Burt Co., Publishers, hardcover

19336544Shanghai: The Comacrib Press 1933. First edition. 8vo xii 448 4pp. Copiously illustrated with half-tone photographs sketches and diagrams by Forman. Publisher's pebbled cloth with gilt spine and cover lettering sprayed page edges in illustrated jacket. Spine mottled and faded else very good in jacket which is lacking about 2/3 of the rear panel. <br /> <br /> First book from the American aviator journalist and war correspondent Harrison Forman 1904-1978. The book is quite detailed and somewhat technical in its language though in his preface Forman states:<br /> <br /> "It is not the purpose of the author to attempt a technical and exhaustive survey of the field of aviation in the confining limits of the following few chapters. They are designed rather to direct a special appeal to the layman in the aviation world."<br /> <br /> <br /> The text largely centers around Forman's early explorations in China where he sold aircraft to the government and trained pilots. A fascinating and scarce book on aviation with an interesting Shanghai imprint. <br /> <br /> <br /> . The Comacrib Press unknown
