The air man, his conquests in peace and war

Collins, Francis A. (Francis Arnold), 1873- · 1917 · New York, The Century Co. · 10 pictures

A 1917 popular account of flight by Francis A. Collins, published by The Century Co. in New York for general and youth readers during the First World War. Halftone photographs show biplanes and monoplanes on grass fields, canvas hangars and numbered sheds, ground crews in uniform, and aircraft in low flight—useful for early aviation silhouettes and period airfield detail.
