JO / Paris / 1900 / Lecornu / Kite. Book : "La Navigation Aérienne, histoire documentaire et anecdotique" (4th edition), by Joseph Lecornu. Perfect condition, with price book binding of the city of Paris (arms, gold motto), and preserved cover, 436 p, 29x20. 1910. From aerostation to aviation, the author tells everything, shows everything, meticulously, training at Centrale obliges. Of particular note are the illustrated pages on the 1900 exhibition and the Vincennes competition. Small precision, Joseph Lecornu (1864-1931) is not mentioned, while he wins at these Games of 1900 supported by the World Fair, a discipline in demonstration: the kite, large aircraft. Talented kite flyer, this Norman engineer well forgotten brought electricity to Caen. Curiosity. BE.
