Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Wright, Orville. Archive of aeronautical speed record trials, 1923, a documentary record of early aviation competition and the formalization of international standards for measuring and certifying flight performance. Centered on trials conducted at McCook Field and Wilbur Wright Field in Dayton, Ohio, the material documents world record attempts over one kilometer, 500 kilometers, and 1000 kilometers under the supervision of Orville Wright, who served as directing official. The archive captures a transitional moment in aviation history when experimental flight gave way to regulated competition, with standardized timing, calibrated instruments, and formal reporting procedures required for international recognition by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale. Archive comprising 14 manuscript and typed documents in English and French, accompanied by two original black and white photographs. Materials include official reports submitted to the National Aeronautic Association and to the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale, correspondence addressed to Secretary General Paul Tissandier, technical certification documents from the Bureau of Standards, and timing sheets recording individual pilot performance. A report dated March 29, 1923 details speed trials conducted over 500 and 1000 kilometer courses, while related documentation records the surveying and marking of one and three kilometer straightaway courses at Wilbur Wright Field. The bilingual nature of the archive reflects the FAI's use of French as its official language, with parallel documentation measuring distinct record categories. Recorded achievements include Lt. R. L. Maughan's one kilometer speed of 380.751 kilometers per hour in a Curtiss R 6 Racer, Lt. Alex Pearson's 500 kilometer record at 270.06 kilometers per hour, and the 1000 kilometer endurance speed of 205 kilometers per hour achieved by Lts. H. R. Harris and R. Lockwood. Photographs depict course pylons at Wilbur Wright Field and official timer Odis A. Porter observing aircraft performance during timed runs. The archive documents the institutionalization of aviation record keeping in the early twentieth century, when governing bodies such as the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale established uniform procedures for homologating records across national contexts. The involvement of Orville Wright, alongside officials including Lorin Wright and Odis A. Porter, situates the trials within the Dayton aviation community that had been central to powered flight since 1903. These materials illustrate the convergence of engineering innovation, military aviation through the U.S. Army Air Service, and international oversight, demonstrating how record setting functioned both as technological advancement and as a structured competitive discipline. Minor handling wear to documents; photographs well preserved with strong contrast. Overall very good condition.…
