Glenn Curtiss Collection of Early Aviation Photographs 1908-1915 1912-1914

http://rave.ohiolink.edu/archives/ead/ODaWU0042

The Glenn Curtiss Collection of Early Aviation Photographs contains 174 photographs and photographic postcards showing the development of Glenn Curtiss' aviation and aircraft construction careers between 1908 and 1915. Landmark events in Curtiss' career, such as the 1910 Euclid Beach flight in Cleveland and the 1914 rebuild of the Langley Aerodrome, are featured in the collection. There are also photographs of a number of pilots-both civilian and military-whom Curtiss trained between 1911 and 1914, as well as photographs of other early aviation pioneers either associated with Curtiss or who flew Curtiss aircraft. A small number of non-Curtiss related photographs are also present in this collection.
