Imprint: 1917 [AVIATION] Frank Champion. TSUITO KINEN SHASHINCHO. Kochi, Japan: Kochi Shinbunsha, et al., Taisho 6 [1917] Oblong tassle-bound album, 15.3 x 22.6 cm., With extensive descriptive captioning and text and many textual illustrations in collotype of the events around the accidental death of the American Frank Champion during a stunt-flying exhibition outside of Kochi City in July 1917. Champion was a great attraction during his barnstorming trip to Japan and had performed for the Taisho Emperor in Tokyo. Indeed, after his death, the emperor requested and received the aircraft engine from the wreck and mounted it as a memorial in the Palace grounds. Champion (1884-1917) himself was an early pioneer of American aviation. He is given the distinction of being the first aviator from Oklahoma. When WW1 reduced interest in barnstorming in the US, he took his air show to Asia. A very interesting album. For more on Champion, see http://www.earlyaviators.com/echampion.htm Save for some warping of the covers, in good condition overall., Good Stock number: 85530.
