Biographical History
American scientist.
An American expert in astronomy, physics and aeronautics, became Secretary of the Smithsonian in 1887. Best known for his attempts to build the first heavier-than-air flying machines.
Author, scientist, and engineer.
Astronomer and physicist, secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, pioneer in theory and construction of heavier-than-air machines.
Samuel P. Langley (1834-1906) was the third Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. Apparently many of Langley's papers were accidentally burned after his death. Langley papers in the Smithsonian are housed in the Smithsonian Archives and the National Air and Space Museum (NASM). The Allegheny Observatory holds papers from Langley's years there, from which copies of Langley's correspondence, 1867-1887, have been made for this collection.
