Description: Flying for 1938 - Howard Mingos, 1937, Dust Jacket, 1st Edition From Chapter I: Adventures Over Land and Sea: "On a cold winter day a plane went up from the U. S. Navy's air station at Lakehurst, NJ, and when it had climbed about a half mile over the field a man jumped out. Now there was nothing so remarkable in that, because the jumper wore a parachute, and parachute jumping is rather commonplace. It is good practice for an aviator to know how to do it in case he has to bail out and come down on his aerial life raft. However, there was something remarkable about this particular jump. In his left hand the jumper carried what at first glance appeared to be a small canvas traveling bag. And in a sense it was just that, because it was a bag and it was traveling, albeit vertically and at breathless speed, because the man who held it was not opening his chute. . . ". Please see photos.
