Author: CALIFORNIA STATE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, EMORY B. BRONTE
Title: Landing Fields the Roads of Aviation
Description: California: California State Chamber of Commerce, 1932. Other. B&W Illustrations; C1932 -33. This is a Chamber of Commerce flier regarding a committee put together to determine if, when and where landing fields for aviation should be developed in the state of California. Unfortunately, the flier (made up of one smallish sheet, folded three times) has cracked completely at the bottom crease and has separated. The top crease has cracking as well, though is still attached. This report / flier was either written by, or the output of work by Emory B. Bronte. There are two long strips of tape shadowing to the front cover and both inner pages. "Bronte, a native of New York, had gone to sea at age 15 before entering the Navy in World War I. After the war he joined Isthmian Steamship Company, working his way up from third mate to master. In 1923 he relocated to San Francisco to work for McCormick Steamship Company, after which he became the Pacific Coast representative of the Inland Waterways Corporation. Along the way he had authored a book on navigation, but government service had also whetted his interest in the law, a field he planned to study after the 1927 flight was over. He had taken flying lessons and had soloed in a Curtiss JN-4 ‘Jenny’ but had no actual pilot’s license." (from HistoryNet). Fair .
