  • The Reims Air Races
    Reims Air races and the Gordon Bennett Trophy Bleriot's cross-Channel flight excited Europe as nothing else had. The City of Reims and the French vintners of the Champagne region decided to sponsor a week of aviation exhibition and competition, putting up large purses in prize money, the most prestigious being the International Aviation Cup, known as the Gordon Bennett Trophy, after its sponsor, James Gordon Bennett, the flamboyant American publisher of the New York Herald and the Paris Herald. The meet attracted the cream of European society, from royalty and generals to ambassadors and the merely wealthy, to the Betheny Plain outside Reims from August 22 to 29, 1909. While there were to be many other such meets before and after World War 1, none would match Reims for grandeur and elegance or for sheer excitement. The major European manufacturers, all French, entered various events. There were 'planes by Bleriot, Voisin, Antoinette, and Farman, and even several French-built Wrights. The Wrights themselves had passed on an invitation to race at Reims, which was awkward since the Gordon Bennett Trophy was crowned with a large replica of a Wright Flyer. The Aero Club of America, which had sponsored the Scientific American trophy won by Curtiss a year earlier, turned to Curtiss. Curtiss' June Bug was not as well developed a plane as the Wright machines (and possibly the Wrights were hoping to drive this point home if Curtiss failed at Reims) and while it was more maneuverable than the European planes, it was not nearly as fast. 1909 Voisin 1 Curtiss worked feverishly to produce a more powerful engine and stripped down his airplane to give it greater speed.

  • 100 Years of Flight in Texas
    100 Years of Flight in Texas First Flight Friday, February 18th, 1910 was supposed to be a better day. The day before had provided the typical windy, cool con- ditions of mid-winter along the upper Gulf Coast. After assem- bling his fleet of air- planes and preparing them to make their at- tention getting circles around the muddy field, air show “King” Louis Paulhan had waited just a bit too long. By late afternoon the winds were too high to fly the delicate Farman biplane or the difficult to control Bleriot monoplanes. The crowd that had assembled was unhappy. They had each paid $1 to see one of the new “aeroplanes” fly. Many had taken the day off from work, or skipped school! The show pro- moters, the Houston Post and The Western Land Company, wanted to draw a crowd down to South Hous- ton to show off their housing development. What better way than with a demonstration of the “new fan- gled” flying machines! Paulhan had been making a long, slow trek across the United States on his way back to New York. After a rousing success at the Los Angeles Air Show and Race in January, he was riding the rails to a variety of stops before reaching the grim, overcast and windy Texas coast. His crew of two, along with he and his wife, arrived by rail on Tuesday. By Wednesday their airplanes had been partially assembled and trucked, by horse no less, to a field at the cor- ner of Spencer and Galveston Highways. Sod- den, the field would have to do, as he had to fly to secure his “sponsorship” from the promot- ers.

  • Histoire Tome 1 Chap 2 Les Pr
    Les Précurseurs Chapitre 2 Les premiers jours de 1908 allaient être marqués d'un événement important. Le 13 janvier exactement, sur un appareil biplan construit par Gabriel Voisin et muni d'un moteur Antoinette de 40 cv à 1100 tr/mn avec 8 cylindres en V, Henry Farman vient d'accomplir le premier vol officiel de 1 km en circuit fermé de l'histoire , durée du vol 1' 28'', ce qui lui permet de remporter le prix Deutsch-Archdeacon de 50 000 F promis dés 1904. Premier kilomètre en circuit fermé par H. Farman Le 21 mars , Henry Farman, porte le record du monde de distance à 2,004 kilomètres. Le 28 mars 1908, Henry Farman a l'idée de monter comme passager à bord de l'avion piloté par son ami Delagrange. Deux hommes à bord ! On crie à la folie.Le vol se déroule sans aucun problème, Henry Farman enlève ainsi le titre mondial de premier passager à bord d'un avion. Le 8 juillet en Italie, Delagrange emmène à son bord la première femme qui ait volé en avion. Cette femme, qui enlève le titre de "première aviatrice "du monde , est une Française, Mme Thérèse Peltier. Le 6 septembre 1908, Léon Delagrange tient l'air 29 minutes, sur une distance de 24,40 kilomètres à une hauteur de 6 mètres. Le 17 septembre, l'aviation est en deuil. Le premier mort est le lieutenant Thomas Selfridge, décédé de ses blessures. Lorsque Orville Wright vient à Fort Myer pour faire la démonstration du Wright Flyer III pour la division aéronautique du corps des transmissions de l’armée américaine, Selfridge fait en sorte d'être passager pendant le vol .Au milieu du cinquième tour, l'hélice de droite se casse et perd de sa poussée , Orville coupera les moteurs, et réussira à planer jusqu'à 75 pieds (23 m), mais l'avion heurte le sol, le nez en premier.

  • NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions
    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard Louis Paulhan, King of the Air Big things were happening in February of 1910. That Carnival saw the introduction of the wonderful hand-painted coconuts that the Zulu Social Aid and Pleasure Club gives out each Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Zulu used to throw gold-painted walnuts on Fat Tuesday, but this tradition has been replaced long ago by delivering the larger and more desirable coconuts. February 23, 1910, the New Orleans Rotary Club was founded exactly five years after the first Rotary Club in Chicago. The Crescent City club was one of the earliest pioneering clubs (sixteen in number) that pre-date the National Association of Rotary Clubs of America, formed in August 1910. But on February 13, 1910, according to the American Review of Reviews, Louis Paulhan concluded “a series of aeroplane flights in New Orleans”. Did he ever! The debonair French aviator Isidore Auguste Mariè Louis Paulhan arrived in New Orleans shortly before Mardi Gras. The particularly well-skilled pilot was a huge sensation with the New Orleans fans, turning out some twenty-five thousand strong (at fifty cents each) to see him perform at the City Park racetrack. The French “birdman” lifted his flimsy-looking Farman biplane off the ground at a speedy twenty-five miles per hour and climbed up to a top speed of sixty miles per hour. The plane’s wingspan was thirty-four feet ten inches with an overall length of thirty-eight feet. With the daring airman aboard, the plane’s total weight was about 830 pounds.

  • International Journal of Professional Aviation Training & Testing
    International Journal of Professional Aviation Training & Testing Research Vol. 7, Issue 1 JORGE CHAVEZ DARNELL: THE FORGOTTEN AVIATOR David Armando Del Castillo Donald S. Metscher William B. Coyne Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Abstract This paper describes some of the early inception of man exploration, and the determination for flight. It gives a background of a young man’s early achievements that led to the first crossing of the Alps. Although Jorge Chavez Darnell made one of the great achievements in aviation, he has been all but forgotten in aviation history. It was an era in which men of courage were passionate in reaching greater heights and speeds. Civilian inventors and innovators propelled advancements in aviation. Before the Wright brothers proved that controlled, powered flight could be achieved, they had over 1000 flight hours in gliders prior to the first motorized flight on December 17, 1903 (Kane, 2003). At the same time that the Wright brothers were pursuing to be the first in flight, Europeans shared the same ambitions. It was a time of early aviation history when airplane fuselages were built of wood and canvas, and men were attempting to break altitude, and speed records (Rhoades, 2013). While pilots in those days did not have a parachute, what they had was great courage, bravery, and faith that they could reach higher heights and faster speeds. One of these men of courage was Jorge Chavez Darnell. Of Peruvian descent, in 1909, at the age of 21, he graduated as an engineer and became an aviator (Gagliardi, 2009). Competitions in Europe and the United States encouraged breaking altitudes and speed records.

William continued to look for any opportunity to fly. During a visit to Seattle’s University Club, William was introduced to U.S. Navy Lt. Conrad Westervelt.

I certainly had never heard of him upon my visit to the Smithsonian Institution in the fall of 2002. When I met archivist Kristine Kaske at the National Air and Space Museum Library, I had only a vague conception that my topic was early aviation in the United States. With her help, I identified Beachey as a case study worthy of exploration. She and the other archivists at the Air and Space Museum and Garber facility were indispensable in my search for primary materials on the obscure aviator. Aviation historian Carroll Gray was also extremely helpful in my search for sources on the elusive Beachey. Her own book on the aviator is forthcoming. I would like to thank my advisors, professors Paul Jefferson and Emma Lapsansky, for showing genuine interest in my topic. They challenged me to recognize the full potential of this project.
