* Bizarre flying contraption... an early aviation invention

The entire front page is taken up with two large photos of: "The Luyties Helicopter, Probably the Largest Experimental Rotary Flying Machine Ever Tested." I suspect it never got off the ground. A related article appears on an inside page. Other topics with photos throughout. The complete issue, in nice condition. 16 pages.
