Pioneer aviator (1878–1960) who flew with the Wright Exhibition Team and in 1912 was commissioned to shoot the first aerial footage of New York City. Three original 1912 photos related to Frank Coffyn’s flight in New York City, 6.5 x 4.5, each stamped on the reverse by M. Rol. Photos show Coffyn in front of his aircraft, the hydroplane in icy water just before taking off, and an aerial photo of the Statue of Liberty, bearing a pencil notation on the reverse: “First image of New York from the Air.” In overall fine condition.
