The Royal Aeronautical Society The First Fifty Years

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  04 July 2016

Extract

It has been recorded in the Annual Reports that String-fellow made a trip to California with Frederick Marriott, who had been the publicity agent for Henson's project of 1843 and the subsequent experiments of Henson and Stringfellow. Marriott, who had become editor of the San Francisco News Letter, began to interest the Californians in a project of a large aeroplane partly lifted by gas, a project which had been suggested in previous years without number.
