Interesting account of the early days of aviation showing the first airplanes, mostly biplanes (on the ground with crew and spectators or crashed; some from WWI, i.a. the German bomber type Friedrichshafen G.III that force-landed in Vinkem in January 1918, and was captured and re-used by the Belgian army), but also some monoplanes. 5 photos of zeppelins (i.a. alongside marching soldiers in Westvleteren; in a stone quarry in Verdun 1916) and 6 photos of hot-air balloon spectacles (i.a. the departure of a balloon in Saint-Josse-ten-Noode in 1890). 12 photos of a pilot in a strange device (to simulate airplane movement?). Some amusing photos of nicely dressed people posing behind "cardboard airplanes" at the fair.
Joined: 17 b/w photos showing railways, locomotives, tramways and the funicular of Lourdes. First half 20th c. (107 pcs)
