Octavo. Original blue cloth, titles to spine gilt and to upper board in blind. 8-page publisher's ads at rear. Portrait frontispiece and 15 plates from black and white photographs. Spine cocked, cloth a little rubbed at the extremities, two shallow dents in the upper board, lower corner bumped, some spotting to the contents, particularly the early leaves, and edges of the text block. Very good condition. First edition of the memoirs of the first Englishwoman to fly. Inscribed by the author, using her married name, on the title page, "(Gertrude Foggitt) Sept. 1936". Gertrude Bacon (1874-1949) was the daughter of the scientist and balloonist Rev. John Maczenzie Bacon, and she accompanied him on most of his expeditions. "Bacon became fascinated by flying and as a journalist reported on the various airships and planes being built." In August 1904 she became the first woman to fly in an airship, being a passenger in the near-disastrous first flight of an 84-foot-long ship designed by Stanley Spencer. "From 22 to 29 August, 1909, the world's first aviation meeting was held at Rheims, France. Bacon was determined to go for a ride in one of the new machines. On the last day she was taken up in a Farman plane, squeezed between the radiator and the pilot. She described the takeoff: 'The motion was wonderfully smooth - smoother yet - and then - ! Suddenly there had come into it a new indescribable quality - a lift - a lightness - a life!' Thus she became the first Englishwoman to fly" (International Women in Science: A Biographical Dictionary, p. 15). Bacon flew on several other occasions, and became the first ever hydroplane passenger at Lake Windermere in 1912. Bacon became Gertrude Foggitt in 1929, when she married fellow botanist and chemist Thomas Jackson Foggitt.

First edition, first impression, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper: "With the compliments of the author, Gertrude Foggitt, June 18 1930". Gertrude Bacon (1874-1949), later Foggitt, was an aeronautical pioneer and woman of science known for achieving a number of "firsts" for women in aeronautics. Bacon "was the first woman in England to make a proper ascent in a balloon. the first woman to be a passenger when a loop was being looped", and the first ever passenger in a seaplane (Hartley, p. 56). Her father John Mackenzie Bacon (1846-1904) was an astronomer and early aeronaut who pioneered the flying of air balloons, and her fascination for flying was fostered by accompanying him on aeronautical expeditions. Also a noted astronomer and botanist, she was an original member of the British Astronomical Association and, as told in these memoirs, joined its expeditions to observe total solar eclipses in Lapland (1896), India (1898), and North Carolina (1900). Cathy Hartley, A Historical Dictionary of British Women, 2003. Octavo. Original blue cloth, spine lettered in gilt and front cover lettered in blind. With portrait frontispiece and 15 half-tone photographic plates. Spine gently bumped and cocked, rubbing to extremities, a few marks to covers, contents slightly foxed. A very good copy.
