Lot Essay

Bleriot types include the 'New Military Aeroplane' and experimental type with four-paddle-blade propeller. Breguet is shown politically incorrect smoking a cigarette prior to takeoff. Delagrange built his own version of the Voisin, identifiable by curtains between the interplane struts. A fine ground to air shot of the Deperdussin is included. The Farman file includes a number of portraits of Henri Farman (see back cover), aviation meetings, various tractor and pusher types, some retouched. It will be noticed that Farman almost without fail is smoking a cigarette, when flying, refuelling his aircraft or socialising with admirers!
