Item # 583046

August 15, 1911

THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR, Boston, Massachusetts, August 24, 1911

* Harry Nelson Atwood
* Early aviation feat
* Airplanes in it's infancy


This 12 page newspaper has one column headlines on the front page that include: "ATWOOD, FLYING TO WEST POINT, BREAKS THE WORLD'S RECORD", "Aviator Lands Near military Field at 9:32 a. m., After Trip of More Than 80 Miles From Castleton" and more with a nice photo of his airplane.  A nice report on early American aviation.

Other news of the day. Nice, clean condition.
