  • Early Powered Flight a Talk by Mr
    Early Powered Flight A talk by Mr. R. A. Rostron given to the members of the Malta Philatelic Society on 3rd November, 2010 As a schoolboy I enjoyed collecting stamps (and still do). I also liked to build and fly model aeroplanes and as a young man worked for De Havillands.. Consequently, after about 50 years I have been able to connect the two interests in the form of a talk. It has always amazed me how quickly the development of the wood, wire and canvas planes progressed from the first successful flight by the American Wright Brothers at Kitty Hawk in 1903, to the first Airmail Postal Services in 1911 and then passenger aircraft, etc. The subject has been very well researched and documented by specialists. All I have tried to do is to put my material into an interesting 'story' mainly from 1903 to 1911. Pictures of various designs of the first flying machines were shown starting with a Wright Flyer 111 of 1905. Whilst the Americans slowly made improvements 'behind closed doors', in Europe things moved rapidly. By 1909 there were several designs mainly monoplanes and biplanes, some with pusher engines, some with pullers; some had skids some wheels; some designs looked almost the same front and back. Designers, manufacturers and aviators all wanted their machines to fly faster and over greater distances. The world's first Airshow was held in Rheims, France in August 1909. There was much competition and record setting. Meanwhile, another record had been set, namely the first ever flight across the English Channel.

  • A Bove the Pacific
    Lieutenant Colonel William J. Horvat A bove the Pacific Printed and Published in the United States by Aero Publishers, Inc., 1966 ABOVE THE PACIFIC By LT. COL. WILLIAM J. HORVAT This is the first complete story of the flights “Above the Pacific” from the first Hawaiian balloon ascent in 1880 and the first Curtiss flights in1910 up to the prevent time (1966). Modern day coverage includes a discussion of the airlines that serve the area, as well as information on the satellite tracking facilities located on the island. This fascinating page of history includes the story of Hawaii’s vital role in the development of World Aviation History. Hawaii can truthfully be called the “Springboard to Aerospace” in the Pacific. As a halfway spot across the ocean, it has been used by sea-faring navigators for thousands of years; and the island’s strategic position in the midst of 5,000 miles of ocean has focused attention on this Garden Spot as an aid to aviation development. This authentic book is truthfully a documentary of flights “Above the Pacific.” Included are stories of the military interest, in addition to the civilian interest, in Hawaiian aviation. The succession of events is given in chronological order, with military as well as commercial activities being covered. An illustrated story of Pearl Harbor and World War II is also included. Editor’s Note: Above the Pacific was published by Aero Publishers, Inc. in 1966. The book is no longer in print. The publisher is no longer in business. The author Lt. Col. William J.

  • Alberto Santos-Dumont and His Demoiselle Airplanes
    1 Superbly Small: Alberto Santos-Dumont and his Demoiselle Airplanes The classic Demoiselle, the fourth version of the Santos-Dumont 20, in flight September 1909.

Reproduction, reuse, or retransmission prohibited without prior written permission of the author. 2 Original text Copyright © 2017-2019 Stuart K. Wier. Reproduction, reuse, or retransmission prohibited without prior written permission of the author. 3 The Demoiselle – the Dragonfly or Damselfly – is the name of five or more versions of one early airplane in 1907-1909, and later built for sale by a manufactuer. In its final form it was the first small light airplane with reasonably good performance for its time. In the earliest days of aviation it and its creator were famous. The Demoiselle is so appealing, partly due to its appearance in a movie from 1965, that more than a dozen modern flying “replicas” (of varying authenticity) have been made, and dozens of modern aircraft of similar configuration have been built and flown for recreation, incorporating improvements based on a century of aircraft construction and flying. The original Demoiselle, Santos-Dumont's 19, of 1907, in Neuilly. The Demoiselles were creations of Alberto Santos-Dumont, a wealthy young Brazilian residing in Paris, beginning in 1907. He was an accomplished and leading inventor, designer, and pilot of balloons and small pressurized non-rigid airships who operated his own workshop and hanger in Paris. In October 1906 Santos-Dumont achieved the first powered flight of a heaver-than-air airplane in Europe, in a flying machine he called 14bis, and was celebrated then in France as the first man to fly.

  • Wilbur & Orville Wright
    Wilbur & OrvilleWright Pictorial Materials Preface This guide is the fifth commemorative tribute to the Wright brothers prepared by the Library of Congress since 1949, when the Wright papers were given to the Library by the Orville Wright estate, and is one of two publications originating in con­ nection with the seventy-fifth anniversary of powered flight. Its companion, entitled Photographs by the Wright Brothers: Prints from the Glass Negatives in the Library of Congress (Washing­ ton: Library of Congress, 1978), includes all hut two of 303 pho­ tographic glass-plate negatives taken by the Wright brothers in highly reduced form as positive images on five microfiche. The publication was prepared for the press by Leonard C. Bruno. Twenty-five years earlier, to celebrate the fiftieth anni­ versary of powered flight, a two-volume edition of The Papers of Wilbur and Orville Wright, Including the Chanute- Wright Let­ ters and Other Papers of Octave Chanute (New York: McGraw­ McGraw-Hill Book Company, 1953) was published under the sponsorship of Oberlin College. In that major initial tribute, the Wrights’ letters, diaries, notebooks, and other records of their scientific and technical work in inventing and perfecting the air­ plane were edited by Marvin W. McFarland of what was then the Library’s Aeronautics Division. As a contributor to that work, the present writer com­ piled several auxiliary files to supplement and help in organizing the wealth of material in the Wright papers. Two of these, later expanded, updated, and published to mark other anniversaries, were Wilbur & Orville Wright: A Bibliography Commemorating the Hundredth Anniversary of the Birth of Wilbur Wright, April 16, 1867 (Washington: Library of Congress, 1968) and Wilbur & Orville Wright: A Chronology Commemorating the Hundredth Anniversary of the Birth of Orville Wright, August 19, 1871 (Washington: Library of Congress, 1975).
