Early airplane flight to Tijuana in 1911......
Item # 698879
January 30, 1911
THE EVENING TRIBUNE, San Diego, Feb. 7, 1911
* Harry S. Harkness airplane flight
* American aviator - aviation pioneer
* War message from North Island to Tijuana
The top of the front page has a three column headline: "SETS NEW WORLD RECORD FOR AMATEUR AVIATORS" with subheads. (see images) 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 12 pages, small library stamps within the masthead, irregular along the spine, generally very nice.
wikipedia notes: In 1911 a war message is delivered to Tijuana by millionaire aviator Harry S Harkness, a captain in the US Aeronautical Reserve, from his French Antoinette monoplane that took off from Curtiss' flying school on North Island with orders to Lt George Ruhlen
