EARLY AVIATION PIONEERS - THE SAMUEL CODY ARCHIVE: Extremely important Royal Aero Club Aviators Certificate No.9, 1910, issued to S. F. Cody on 7th June 1910 and signed by the Club's Chairman, brown leather covers, together with a receipt for the fee of £1?1-0, June 11th 1910 plus Aviator's Certificate Number 9 from the Federation Aeronautique Internationale dated 14th June 1910. In 1910 the Royal Aero Club decided to give certificates of proficiency to pilots, the first two being J. T. C. Moore-Brabazon and Hon. Charles Stewart Rolls co-founder of Rolls Royce. The influence of the Club in those early days cannot be overemphasised. Its members included and trained most military pilots up to 1915, when military schools took over. The gift of training facilities and aircraft to the Royal Navy by Francis McLean was the real starting point of the Royal Naval Air Service. From 1910 the Club, which had been granted the Royal prefix that year for its achievements and status, issued Aviators Certificates, internationally recognised under the FAI. The lot also includes a photograph of Cody in flight, a rare publicity flyer for a lecture he conducted on Aviation on 15th December 1908 and a copy of the Royal Aircraft Establishment News bearing the headline Samuel Franklin A Great Pioneer. Date: 1908-1910

EDITORS COMMENTS
This collection of memorabilia pays tribute to the groundbreaking achievements of Samuel Franklin Cody, a pioneering figure in the early days of aviation. The centerpiece of this archive is a Royal Aero Club Aviators Certificate No.9, issued to Cody on June 7, 1910. Signed by the Club's Chairman, this certificate bears the weighty significance of being one of the first such certificates ever granted, following the Royal Aero Club's decision to recognize and accredit pilots in 1910. Accompanying this certificate is a receipt for the fee of £1-1-0, dated June 11, 1910, along with an Aviator's Certificate Number 9 from the Federation Aeronautique Internationale, dated June 14, 1910. These documents underscore Cody's international standing as an accomplished aviator. The Royal Aero Club, which had been granted the Royal prefix that year for its achievements and status, played a pivotal role in those early days of aviation. Its members included and trained most military pilots up until 1915, when military schools took over. The Club's influence on the development of aviation in the UK cannot be overstated. The lot also includes a rare photograph of Cody in flight, a publicity flyer for a lecture he conducted on Aviation on December 15, 1908, and a copy of the Royal Aircraft Establishment News bearing the headline "Samuel Franklin A Great Pioneer." This collection offers a fascinating glimpse into the life and career of one of the most influential figures in the history of aviation.
