Additional Details

A program for what was billed as the first aeronautic exposition in America, preceded only by the Paris show in 1909. It was held indoors at the Mechanics Building in Boston over eight days, and featured exhibits, lectures, and daily musical programs. The program lists 23 "large machines" on exhibit, ranging from gliders to biplanes to balloons. One copy in WorldCat; the only other known copy was sold at the 1969 Streeter sale, VII:4009, for the then-substantial sum of $150.
