SMITHSONIAN STUDIES IN AIR AND SPACE • NUMBER 2 SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world of science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given sub­ stantive review.

The first time the Wright brothers made a 360-degree banked turn, the idea of aircraft development for more thrilling control of an aircraft started. With the development of the aircraft in 1904, each new aircraft manoeuvre was more thrilling to the public. Large paying audiences soon tired of watching pilots perform simple flying exhibits and demanded more thrills and danger. Pilots competed to develop flying tricks and stunts leading to aerobatic manoeuvres. Did you know? Flying clubs were created soon after the development of the aircraft. To teach new pilots how to fly and handle the numerous new aircraft being developed, clubs were created by individuals and builders such as Curtis. In 1905, Count Henri de la Vauix, vice-president of the Aero Club of France gave a presentation to the Olympic Congress of Brussels for the formation of a universal aeronautical federation to regulate the various aviation meetings and advance the science and sport of aeronautics. The Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) was formed by countries including: Belgium, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, and The US. Daredevils Did you know? A daredevil is defined as a reckless, impulsive, and irresponsible person.

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.
