Photograph album, 1910.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/38744949

Collection consists of an album of 25 photographs of early airplanes and aviators. The album is labeled, "Aero Meet, Lambert Field, St. Louis, Mo., Oct., 1910." and each photo was taken during this St. Louis Aero Club's meet. Fifteen photos include views of one or more Wright biplanes or parts of them. There are three views of the Bleriot monoplane. Three photos include Theodore Roosevelt, one in a biplane. The only identified aviator is Arthur Hoxsey, although many others are pictured, and a number of other famous early aviators are known to have attended this meet, including Walter Brookins, Al Welsh, and Ralph Johnstone. All of the Wright biplanes that are clearly discernible in this album appear to be the Model A or what has been referred to as a transitional model. One negative is available.
