191174260San Antonio: H. Rudolph Fox Photographer 1911. Original photograph measuring 48 x 7 1/2 inches. Large panoramic photo depicting the March 1911 United States Army maneuvers which featured 20000 troops with early US military aircraft such as the Wright Model B biplane as well as two others by Robert McCormick and Ben Johnson a San Antonio inventor flying above the camp. . captions scratched into negative at lower margin minor restoration to small portion at the very lower far right fore-edge minor creasing still a a wonderfully clean and clear image.This exceedingly scarce original panoramic photograph features the United States Army maneuvers in March 1911 and was one of the earliest such camps to coordinate with US Army fliers. Within the image the YMCA tent is identified as well as the placement of the field hospital field artillery the Signal Corps as well as the Depot Commissary in the foreground. Above three different biplanes are shown flying maneuvers including the Wright Model B flown by Lt. Benjamin D. Foulois who along with Phil Parmalee flew the first military reconnaissance scouting missions in a fixed-wing aircraft along the US-Mexico border; as well as planes flown by Robert McCormic an early Chicago aviator and inventor who would later construct and house several experimental aircraft at Fort Sam Houston as well as Ben Johnson a San Antonio inventor who flew a Johnson Wright Model B airplane. The Wright Model B was the Wright brothers’ most successful aircraft produced from 1910 to 1914 and they were shipping nearly 4 aircraft a month. Unfortunately the rear elevator made the Model B more tail heavy and prone to stall and within two years faster propeller first aircraft with drag-reducing fuselages began appearing. Fort Sam Houston was a very popular experimental airfield for flying meets air races because it occupied 800 acres annd the field was unbroken by no hills of real prominence. Established in 1890 as a post the War Department began expanding the Fort after the Spanish-American War adding Cavalry and Light Artillery from 1905-1912 and also served as the birth of military aviation. Lt. Foulois had made his first solo flight the year before in March 1910. See: Edmond Percy Noel America Now Has Forty Flying Fields San Antonio Tex.

193760496Washington DC: Places Inc. 1937. Tall 8vo. x 11-95 1 pp. Photo frontisp. numerous photo illusts. maps. Black silk moire gilt lettering on front cover & spine slight shelfwear w/ d.j. cover art illustration of Whitehead’s machine in flight by Liebowitz still F/F copy. First edition first issue w/o reviews on back cover of this fascinating work which was the first to put forward the arguments that Gustave Whitehead 1874-1927 had achieved power flight 2 years before the Wright Brothers in 1901. This controversy has reemerged in the recent years because the editor of Jane’s All the World’s Aircraft chose to support the claim while most including the National Air & Space Museum Curator feel that the evidence is very sparse. In addition there have been recent teams in 1986 and 1998 constructing experimental reproductions of Whitehead 21B at the Experimental Association fly-in and in Germany but these have been disputed as well because they have used some modern materials such as fiberglass and modern engines. Randolph b. 1895 was initially drawn into researching the flights of Whitehead during the Great Depression as a free-lance writing assignment and would eventually accumulate a substantial collection of correspondence affidavits articles and interviews now held in the Special Collections History of Aviation Collection Univ. of Texas at Dallas ID # H001-71.
