THE ATLANTA CONSTITUTION, Georgia, August 19, 1911

The front page has a two-column, two-line headline on the front page: "SOARING 11,726 FEET HIGH, BRINDLEY BREAKS RECORD" with subheads that include: "Parmalee Follows Brindley in Air, Reaching the Altitude of 10, 837 Feet" and more.

Other news of the day throughout.
Complete in 50 pages with typical browning and some margin wear. A few pages have some fracturing, but those with the key content are good. Must be handled with care.
