Customer Reviews

I'm reviewing The Chronology of Flight: c.843 B.C. - 1939. Good book, BUT ... an important omissio

I was very disappointed to see that the Harvard-Boston Aero Meets were left out, for 1910, 1911 and 1912. It was the first international air meet in the U.S. and was held in Quincy, Mass., at Squantum air field. Among others, Claude Grahame-White and Wilbur Wright were there in 1910. White as well as Tom Sopwith in 1911. In 1912 women aviators were included. Harriet Quimby and copilot William Willard flew out around Boston Light and when they were almost back, the plane flipped and they fell into Dorchester Bay to their deaths. After this tragedy the meet was terminated.
