Harvard Aeronautical Society, Atlantic, Massachusetts: Harvard Aviation Field, 1910. 8vo, 48 pp. plus original 6-page supplemental insert with map of Harvard Aviation Field. Original pictorial wrappers printed in red, grey and black. Saddle stitched.

The programme includes a history of aeronautics and the Wright Brothers, illustrations and biographies of aviators, descriptions of aircraft and flying techniques, competition rules, prize structures, and organisational details for the meeting. Particularly notable is the survival of the original supplemental insert containing an updated programme and a plan of Harvard Aviation Field at Atlantic, Massachusetts. The event offered substantial prizes for speed, altitude, duration, distance, and landing accuracy competitions, reflecting the rapid technical development and public fascination surrounding aviation only a few years after the Wright Brothers' first flights.…

She was closely involved in managing Orville's professional paperwork and was regarded as a trusted aide and gatekeeper in his later life.

Hardcover. Condición: Good. 10 short books and pamphlets bound together. The binding is broken into sections, as noted below. When they're stacked together, they have the spine-curve of a complete book, but as detailed below, it's broken into sections, which could be rebound individually. Front cover detached. Two blank pages loose. A third page with handwritten (partial) table of contents also loose. Half title page to The Caution loose. The first three titles still attached to each other in remains of original binding. The Caution; recommended to the Least Honourable Countesses of England. London. J. Owen. 1797. 24 pages. "From the author" handwritten at the top right or title page. Author's name handwritten below the title, "Jonathan Fearnside, Esq" (but none of the reprint copies online mention his name, or any name as author). 24 pages. Dedicated to the Earl of Liverpool. None available. ** A Letter to the Rt. Hon. Sir James Eyre, Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas; On the subject of the cause, Boulton & Watt, v. Hornblower & Maberly: For Infrignement on Mr. Watt's Patent for the Improvement on the Steam Engine By Joseph Bramah, engineer. London. John Stockdale. 1797. 90 pages. None available. Bramah wrote a book on locks in 1785 and patented several items in the late 1700s. Watt's patent on the steam engine was in 1769. Hornblower invented a compound steam engine in 1781, but it was judged to be an infringement on Watt's patent, so he was not able to pursue it, even though it was more efficient and more powerful than Watt's. This short book is a detailed explanation of why Hornblower's work is original and why the judgement against him should be reconsidered. ** A Reply to the Monthly Reviewers; and some letters between them and the Author By A Suffolk Freeholder.

Unknown photographer, Wright hydroaeroplane and early biplane models photo archive, circa 1912 to 1913, documents early American seaplane experimentation during the period when the Wright Company adapted its pusher aircraft technology for water takeoff, alighting, and military use. The photographs capture a hydroaeroplane on or near water, a dramatic water-impact or alighting scene, and a hangar interior where men work over the open framework of a Wright-type machine, providing visual evidence of experimental aircraft handling, float design, rigging, and workshop adjustment. Wright State University's Wright Brothers Collection identifies a 1913 photograph of Orville Wright standing in the Miami River between the pontoons of a Wright Model CH Flyer, confirming the Great Miami River as a documented site for Wright Model CH hydroaeroplane testing in this period. Six pieces total, comprising three silver gelatin prints, each approximately 7 x 5 inches, and three contemporaneous negatives, including two large-format film negatives and one smaller glass or film negative, likely made in the Dayton, Ohio area and a Wright Company hangar. The largest print shows a pusher-type biplane with forward elevator and floats partly submerged near a piling, giving the aircraft an unmistakable hydroaeroplane profile. A second sepia-toned print captures a tall column of spray in open water as a small aircraft passes overhead or just beyond the splash, likely recording a hard alighting, water-impact, or test-run sequence. A third print shows an interior hangar scene with two mechanics or engineers in caps and a man in a straw boater leaning over the exposed structure of a Wright machine; visible details include struts, bracing wires, control runs, open framework, and fittings along the central bay. The three negatives correspond to the water-impact and hangar views, preserving additional technical detail of the rigging geometry, float or skid attachments, and pusher layout. The visual evidence aligns closely with Orville Wright's 1913 Model C-H hydroaeroplane work on the Miami River south of Dayton, though attribution to a specific flight or photographer should remain cautious without inscriptions or provenance beyond the images themselves. Contemporary and local Wright histories describe the Model C-H as a hydroaeroplane tested by Orville on the Miami River in 1913, and one Dayton aviation history account states that in May 1913 he resumed testing the Model C-H at a secluded Miami River site and made 100 flights, carrying up to 800 pounds of payload. The photographs matter because they show the Wright enterprise after Wilbur Wright's death in 1912, when Orville continued technical experimentation even as competitors, especially Glenn Curtiss, pressed forward in flying-boat development. Light edge creases and small corner bumps to the prints, one print with faint silvering and toning, negatives with light emulsion scuffing and edge tape remnants but strong density and detail, very good overall. Focused early aviation archive preserving both river testing and workshop evidence from the moment Wright biplane design was being adapted to hydroaeroplane use on the eve of World War I.…
