Samuel Franklin CodySamuel Franklin Cody
$15.00

This is the first of four volumes to be published by The Drachen Foundation on the flamboyant life of Samuel Franklin Cody. A pictorial curated by Cody collector and authority Jean Roberts, it includes many of Cody’s professional portraits from his acting days, glimpses of his family, his innovative kites, gliders and airships, and his successes with powered flight. The photographs, many published here for the first time, come from archives throughout Europe, as well as from Roberts’ extensive personal collection. Detailed captions lead the reader through a crash course in Cody’s life and dispel many of the myths created by Cody and still promoted today. Softcover, 80 black and white images, 56 pp.
