L'Aerophile Collection Overview
In January 1893 the French journalist and balloonist Georges Besancon
(1866-1934), in collaboration with the Union Aerophile de France,
began publishing a monthly illustrated revue, L'Aerophile (published
1893-1947). Quickly, L'Aerophile became one of the premier
journals of the early history of aviation. The first years
were devoted to balloonists and the importance of meteorology
on ballooning (for
example,
atmospheric
effects on equipment, instruments, and humans). In later years,
as artificial wings,
gliders,
man- and
engine-powered planes were developed, the magazine brought their
stories to the
public.
The fifteen thousand or so items contained in the 150 boxes
of the Library of Congress collection include blueprints and manufactures'
information
of early
French and
foreign
aircraft
and
dirigibles, reports
of accidents
involving flyers and balloonists, photographs of aircraft, engines, and various aircraft equipment, aerial photographs from World War
I, and a series of French cartoons from the period 1909 - 1912 related
to aviation. The collection also contains hundreds of photographs
of early aviators and designers, including pictures of Charles Lindbergh
and his wife Anne Morrow being feted in Paris during their European
trip of 1933. A large number of L'Aerophile images appeared
in the National Air and Space Museum's major exhibition in 2003 celebrating
the centennial of the Wright brothers' first flight, titled the Wright
Brothers' & the Invention of the Aerial Age.
Listed below is a brief description of the contents
for boxes 1 - 75 (please note that there are gaps in the numbering
scheme, content list for boxes 75 - 150). Compiled by Frank Garmon, Jr. Fellow, Summer 2009. Also see the Finding Aid in the LC Finding Aids database.
