Second Printing (Oct. 1909). First Printing (Sept. 1909). From the Preface: "The final conquest of the air by man finds no popular and, at the same time, scientific account, in English, of its accomplishment. While the rapid progress which is daily being made in aerial navigation necessarily renders any permanent record of the latest achievements impossible, yet the epoch when mechanical flight was demonstrated to the world seems opportune to chronicle the past and present status of the rt and to forecast its future." Contents: 5 Chapters: The Ocean of Air; The History of Aerostation; The Dirigible Balloon; The Flying Machine;The Future of Aerial Navigation. 35 black-and-white photographic and drawn illustrations with accompanying descriptive captions. Burgundy cloth binding with white lettering (parts of ten letters worn off) on the front cover. 192 pages. Scuffing/minor damage to top and bottom of spine binding and corners, some scattered foxing to endpapers, elsewise a very good, tight copy! LRS3. …
