Oldest aviation book
Just been having a tidy up chez Luggage and rediscovered a book I've had for a while (can't remember how I originally got it). Called "How To Fly or The Conquest Of The Air", it's by Richard Ferris BS, CE and published by Thomas Nelson in 1910. It describes various types of biplane, monoplane, glider and ballon and how to build and fly them.
Has anyone else ever come across this book or another from the very early days of aviation?
