190919735<p><strong>Extremely rare document containing the rules for the kite contest organized to mark the inauguration of Port-Aviation on May 23 1909.</strong></p><p>The text dated May 13 1909 was written by Hugues Malenfer General Secretary of the Société d'Encouragement à l'Aviation which organized the contest.<br />It is indicated that this leaflet was distributed to subscribers of <em>L'Echo du Cerf-Volant</em> one of the first aeronautical magazines founded and directed by the young Georges Houard 1893-1964. This document comes from his papers.<br />Houard went on to become one of the great names in the aviation press publishing Les Ailes from 1921 to 1960.</p><p><strong>A touching document on the competition of little pioneers to inaugurate the world's first aerodrome at one of the very first international airshows.</strong><br />The kite contest was no mere anecdote either as the wind blew hard and the pilots were unable to fly as much as they would have liked. Impatient and frustrated spectators enthusiastically attended the contest.</p><p><em>Francis Bedei et Max Joy. L'Histoire de Port-Aviation 1909-1919. Le Mée-sur-Seine Amatteis 1993.</em></p>

Soiling and minor wear to the binding; front hinge is starting to separate; some soiling and foxing to the textblock edges but the contents are generally clean. <br /> <br /> Beyond the annual report from the secretary of the Smithsonian Institution there are a large number of articles and contributions ranging from technological to geologic to ethnographic and more. Of particular interest is a report by George O. Squire "The Present Status of Military Aeronautics" pp. 117-144. It is a survey of worldwide developments in aeroplane heavier than air and dirigible designs and practice. Significant discussion of the testing of the Wright Brothers aircraft in September 1908 at Fort Myer VA.

This piece is followed by an article by Pierre-Roger Jourdain "Aviation in France in 1908" pp. 145-159.

192012893Akron OH: The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company 1920. First Edition. Staplebound. Near fine. Quarto 31pp. A crisp clean copy near fine in the publisher's blue stapled wrappers with rough-cut edges stamped in light blue and gold. Staples rusted but sound and the folding plate depicting the enormous Goodyear factory partly loosened from the binding but still attached and intact. Else clean and sound with a very faint flattened crease and contemporary penciled owner's name to the front wrap. An exceptional catalogue of airships blimps and accessories manufactured and sold by Goodyear; a century later still the primary American company associated with blimps. As the technology was so new to the public at the time of publication there are nearly a dozen pages devoted to describing the principles of airship aviation and mechanics. Models with specifications descriptions and photographs presented include UA Tein Motored Pusher UB Twin Motored Airship Type A Pony Blimp Type FA Tractor Type FC Pusher and Type V Airship. Other balloons described includekite balloons spherical balloons and gas containers.<br /> <br /> Airship technology was developed by Goodyear and Goodrich in cooperation with the US Navy at the tail end of World War I. As such this is probably the earliest comprehensive marketing document for airships offered by Goodyear or any American blimp company and we could not locate an earlier Goodyear trade catalogue for airships or accessories in OCLC. That database lists about half a dozen holdings mostly at regional non-specializing institutions except for two copies at the Smithsonian. <br /> <br /> Without prices or obvious ordering instructions this catalogue was clearly meant more as a "show off" marketing piece and it is quite effective as such even to the modern reader. There can be no question that the Hindenburg disaster of 1937 did much to kill this otherwise promising transportation technology. <br /> <br /> Scarce in the trade.
