SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, New York, June 8, 1901
* Early airplane - pre Wright Brothers
* Automobiles photos
Full front page features six photos on the: "Launch of the Battleship 'Ohio' At the Union Iron "Works". But the most interesting item is the inside pg. article: "A New Flying Machine" which features two photos of: "Whitehead's Flying Machine, Showing Aeroplanes". The article is very descriptive, and does note it: "...is now ready for the preliminary trials. Several experiments have been made, but as yet no free flights have been attempted...". The same page has a nice photo of: "The Krieger Electrical Automobile" with a related article. The back page has 5 illustrated automobile ads.
The complete issue is in nice condition.
