Attachment: partclipHoldermanprizingHGpose.png [ 56.7 KiB | Viewed 3907 times ] partial clip photo Book's ad paragraph Between Kittyhawk and the Moon: Memoirs of an Aviation Pioneer Paperback – June 3, 2009 by Russell Holderman (Author), Nancy Holderman Durante (Editor) In the book there is a photograph of Russ in a room where many of his photographs are displayed; one of the photos on the wall is the one that you, Rick found. So, even though the book by Russ is about his 1913 onwards powered aviation life, the fact he kept and displayed the hang glider photograph is telling. From a note surrounding his receiving an honorary doctorate from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, my calculation puts your found photo in 1910. |
