1910 Columbus Aviation Meet Photographs.
COLLINS, JOHN F. 1888-1990. 11 sepia-toned silver gelatin print photographs, mounted to black paper album leaf, depicting aircraft in flight at a 1910 Columbus, Ohio aviation meet. 10 x 12 inches overall, the images in various sizes and shapes, the album page mounted to a later card, with penciled caption "John F. Collins—Columbus, OH 1910."
A little-known meet held close to the birthplace of aviation. There is scant information available on the Columbus meet, although it was sometime after the Los Angeles Dominguez Hills Air Meet in January of the same year, which was the first of such meets held in the U.S. John F. Collins, born in Marietta, Ohio, had a remarkably long photographic career, being active from 1904 to 1974.
