Contact seller5-star sellerTall 8vo. x, [11]-95, [1] pp. Photo frontisp., numerous photo illusts., maps. Black silk moire, gilt lettering on front cover & spine (slight shelfwear), w/ d.j. cover art illustration of Whitehead's machine in flight by Liebowitz, still F/F copy. First edition, first issue (w/o reviews on back cover) of this fascinating work wh…ich was the first to put forward the arguments that Gustave Whitehead (1874-1927) had achieved power flight 2 years before the Wright Brothers in 1901. This controversy has reemerged in the recent years because the editor of Jane's All the World's Aircraft chose to support the claim, while most, including the National Air & Space Museum Curator, feel that the evidence is very sparse. In addition, there have been recent teams in 1986 and 1998 constructing experimental reproductions of Whitehead 21B at the Experimental Association fly-in, and in Germany, but these have been disputed as well because they have used some modern materials such as fiberglass, and modern engines. Randolph (b. 1895) was initially drawn into researching the flights of Whitehead during the Great Depression as a free-lance writing assignment, and would eventually accumulate a substantial collection of correspondence, affidavits, articles, and interviews now held in the Special Collections, History of Aviation Collection, Univ. of Texas at Dallas, ID # H001-71.
