1910 Charles Rolls in airplane flight...
Item # 684155
June 02, 1910
THE EVENING TRIBUNE, San Diego, June 2, 1910
* Aviator Charles Rolls
* Early airplane aviation flight
* Rolls-Royce car manufacturer fame
The top of the front page has a banner heading: "ENGLISH AVIATOR FLIES FROM ENGLAND TO FRANCE AND BACK" with some text. (see) Surprisingly this issue is in good condition being from the "wood pulp" era. Very hard to find issues that are not totally fragile from this era in paper.
Complete with 10 pages, two small library stamps within the masthead, one slightly affects headline, some small binding holes along the spine, generally nice.
wikipedia notes: Charles Rolls became the first man to make a non-stop double crossing of the English Channel by plane taking 95 minutes on 2 June 1910
