This is the author of AVIATORS IN EARLY HOLLYWOOD here: I really like the stylish way the book is presented on Edna's site, thank you!
My aviator actor great grandfather, "Daredevil" DeLay made the book's cover with my publisher, Arcadia, having the final choice.
DeLay is also aerial performing in this plane-to-train transfer pictured here (while the train is speeding) for a motion picture. He was the first to perform this aerial sequence and several others for motion pictures.
Edna Purviance loved the aviators and she looks glamorous and adventurous inside a Chaplin seaplane in the book! Dashing Charlie Chaplin at Chaplin Aerodrome photos are within the book too...
