Covers ballooning to pre-WW1 heavier than air pioneers based on the personal recollections of Harry Harper, the first aeronautical correspondent in the world, from 1906 to the outbreak of World War I. He covered the first aviation meeting in the world in Rheims, Britain's first aviation meetings at Blackpool and Doncaster in 1909, and the Round-Britain seaplane race for 10,000 pounds in 1913.
