Official program for the Grande Quinzaine d’Aviation de Paris, October 7–21, 1909, 5.5 x 8.5, 20 pages, signed on the first page in black ink by Orville Wright and Charles de Lambert. Also includes a vintage postcard signed by de Lambert, four vintage 1909 photos depicting de Lambert’s plane during the race, and one 1934 photo of de Lambert in flight near the Eiffel Tower. Separations to spine of the program and a few notations throughout, otherwise overall fine condition. Charles de Lambert was the first person in France to be taught to fly by Wilbur Wright. On October 10, 1909, he took virtually all the prizes at the meet—and on October 18, he became the first person to fly over the city of Paris during an impromptu victory lap, leaving the Aerodrome on his Wright Flyer, circling the Eiffel Tower, and returning an hour later. An amazing set of items from this historic event, signed by both the creator of heavier-than-air flight and France’s premier early aviator.
