Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Disbound article probably from the Century Magazine. Pencil note on the top of the first page says Centuary May 1891] by which I believe they mean Century. Langley mentions the Century Magazine in his first paragraph, as well. Pages numbered 783-786. Article by S.P. Langley, the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution takes up pages 783-785. No illustrations. In this short article Langley writes to convince the public that flight by means of heavier-than-air vehicles is, indeed, possible. Langley had been at the Smithsonian for 4 years when this piece was published. Two leaves from the magazine held together with a rusty paperclip. Please email with questions or to request photos. If there is a photo beside this listing, please note that it was placed there by ABE without our permission and is likely what they call a stock photo (whatever that is). This volume is part of a large collection of Aviation and Ballooning books, a catalogue of which is available upon request. Most of these magazine articles (from the Kendall Collection) have pencil notes or handwritten titles, but do not have the KB numbers which were added by a later cataloguer.…
